Title

  • A Study of Disproportionate Minority Representation in the Cook County Juvenile Justice System, Part I: Assessment of Disproportionate Minority Representation at Key Decision Points in the Cook County Juvenile Justice System

Description

  • The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority completed a two-part report intended to assess the level and extent of racial disproportionality in the Cook County juvenile justice system. The report is intended to assist the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission with the disproportionate minority confinement section of the state plan. Part One of the report used broad, aggregate data to examine the overall level and extent of disproportionate minority representation (DMR) at multiple stages in the Cook County juvenile justice system process. Part Two of the report had the same overall goal as Part One: to examine the overall level and extent of disproportionate minority representation at various stages in the Cook County juvenile justice system process. Part Two used different methodological approaches because Part One relied on a broad, aggregate approach that could potentially mask important details. Overall, results in Part Two of the report corroborated the results of Part One.
