Research on race/ethnic and juvenile court processing in the United States often has more than the results of their white counter parts, and the context of the community can be conditional for this relationship. It turns out that there is sex.

In a new research, researchers have been prosecuted from the perspective of the ruling and nature to find different races/ethnicity of white, black, and hiss breads and races and races. I checked the relationship with the type (ownership -distribution). Ethnic group.

This study is published in youth violence and the justice of the boy by researchers at the University of Central Florida.

Including the possibility of doing it. Furthermore, although detention was not included as an independent or dependent variable, Hispanic youth was treated as a homogeneous ethnic group, and this study did not have any information on the attitude and recognition of the court official.
