Juvenile Court to identify whether minority juveniles received harsher punishments or outcomes, to assess whether any difference in outcomes is possibly due to legal or extra-legal factors, and to offer recommendations on possible interventions. Additionally, this study looked at possible racial disparities in juvenile court outcomes for Safe School Ordinance (SSO) violations that were handled in the Lagrange County Juvenile Court. The current findings show that for both school and non-school incidents, minority youth, especially Black youth, were more likely to have their cases handled formally, rather than referred to a diversion program, and have their cases adjudicated delinquent in the Lagrange County Juvenile Court. These findings offer support for the “differential selection” hypothesis, which attributes minority overrepresentation in the juvenile justice system to extralegal factors. 2014-04-02 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1395403274 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1395403274 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
