ABSTRACT Prior literature has noted that disparities happen within the juvenile court process across a variety of contexts. However, research exploring this theme often neglects to use attribution theory to understand how external community-based attributions, particularly racialized interactions with real or perceived disadvantages within a community, as well as various internal attributions, and how these considerations shape placement decisions. Using quantitative juvenile court data from one southeastern state in the United States, supplemented with American Community Survey data, this study draws upon attribution theory to explore how internal and external attributions affect the placement decisions of serious and violent juveniles.

归因理论背景下的集中劣势，种族差距和青少年制度化

摘要先前的文献已经指出，在少年法庭诉讼程序中，在各种情况下都存在差异。但是，探索该主题的研究通常会忽略使用归因理论来了解基于外部社区的归因，尤其是种族间的交互作用以及在社区内存在实际或感知的劣势，以及各种内部归因，以及这些考虑因素如何影响布局决策。这项研究使用美国东南部一个州的定量少年法庭数据，再加上美国社区调查数据，以归因理论为基础，探索内部和外部归因如何影响严重和暴力少年的安置决策。
