Can you explain why juveniles of color have higher rates of contact with the police than white youths? Support your answer with evidence.
Although some studies reveal that African-American, Hispanic, and Native American youth are treated more harshly than white youth at several stages of the juvenile justice process (even after the seriousness of the offense and the offender's prior juvenile record are taken into consideration), they do not tell us why these disparities occur. How would you explain these differences? Support your reasoning with evidence.
