 According to the Office of Juvenile

Justice and Delinquency Prevention:

Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) refers to the disproportionate number of minority youth who come into contact with the juvenile justice system.

http://ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/dmcdb/asp/whatis.asp

 A research project  Solving the problems of racism or poverty  The Blame Game – kids, parents, the community,

music videos, television, the media, “the system”

 Finger-pointing at public officials  The Abuse Excuse – poor, broken home, bad

neighborhood, etc.

 Slap on the wrist for African-American/Hispanic

youth

 Structural inequalities in our society  Differential offending rates  Police responses to crime  Locations of offenses  Conscious or unconscious use of racial/ethnic

stereotypes

 Failure to use data to drive decisions  Failure to include all stakeholders in policy decisions

 Where do DMC indicators appear?

• School suspensions
• Complaints from Schools and SRO
• Complaint rates from law enforcement and other

community sources

• Decision to divert or file petition to court
• Rates of secure detention
• Rates of commitment to YDC
• Rates of referral to community based services,

including treatment

• Educate community, law enforcement, key

stakeholders

• Engage the community and stakeholders
• Must include Workforce Representatives and

Consumers

• Need to ensure Cultural Competency & Sensitivity
• May need to make change in policy, procedure and

decision-making framework; paradigm shift

• Agencies must critically review policies and

procedures

• Be data-driven; Must use your data

 Critical Decision Points  Relative Rate Index (RRI)  DMC County Maps

RRI is a means of comparing the rates of juvenile justice contact experienced by different groups

• f youth.
