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.”
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.
