- Summary:
-
This Bulletin describes the racial distribution of serious and violent offending among juveniles in the United States. It provides a picture of the short-term national trends for offending patterns by race and ethnicity and summarizes research findings on racial and ethnic differences in chronic juvenile offending. Various explanations are given for the racial and ethnic differences observed. The Bulletin includes recommendations for improving public understanding of these differences and implications for guiding prevention and intervention efforts. Data are from state records generated by criminal and juvenile justice authorities and self-report data from delinquency and victimization surveys. The magnitude of the differences under which different groups live suggests that the individual-level correlation between race and serious and violent juvenile offending is a function of ecological conditions. This supports the idea that the association of race and juvenile violence is primarily a function of community context. (Contains 57 references.) (SLD)
