Data accumulated over a two year period revealed interesting trends in minority youth contact with law enforcement and in the detention of juveniles in Kansas – data that researchers are sharing with the general population across Kansas with the goal to “change the mentality of the system.”
Dr. Elizabeth Neeley presents findings of study at a public forum.
The Juvenile Justice Authority and the Kansas Advisory Group on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention are presenting to the public the results of a study of the over-representation of minorities in arrests and incarceration.
