A Study of Disproportionate Minority Representation in the Cook County Juvenile Justice System, Part II: Assessment of Disproportionate Minority Representation Through Individual-Level Analyses and Surveys of Juvenile Justice Professionals
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. Part Two of the report, Individual-Level Analyses and Surveys, used different methodological approaches from Part One to examine Disproportionate Minority Representation 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.
