Contextual Characteristics in Juvenile Sentencing: Examining the Impact of Concentrated Disadvantage on Youth Court Outcomes

Rimonda Maroun

4.9/5 (13663 ratings)

Description:While there is extensive research published concerning juvenile justice and sentencing, most research focuses on individual and extra-legal factors, such as age, race, and gender, with scant attention to the impact of macro-level factors. This book assesses how a specific contextual factor--concentrated disadvantage--impacts juvenile court outcomes and considers the relevant implications for the current state of juvenile justice processing.Using case-level data from the 2010 U.S. Census and American Community Survey on a Southern state with a large, diverse population, Maroun assesses whether youths living in neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage experience harsher outcomes than their counterparts from other types of neighborhoods. Additionally, she examines whether concentrated disadvantage interacts with individual race/ethnicity to influence juvenile court outcomes. Results suggested a direct impact of concentrated disadvantage on diversion, adjudication, and probation type. Further, race significantly interacted with concentrated disadvantage in impacting adjudication and probation outcomes while ethnicity significantly interacted with concentrated disadvantage in impacting disposition and commitment type.This research expands the knowledge of macro-level influences on juvenile court outcomes, providing support for the notion that community context impacts juvenile justice processing. Results also highlight the fact that judges use discretion as well as other legal and extra-legal factors in exerting social control, and do so differently at each stage of processing. This monograph is essential reading for those engaged in youth and juvenile justice efforts and scholars interested in issues surrounding race, class, social policy, and justice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
