Minority youth experience harsher sentencing for similar crimes compared to nonminority youth. Researchers have established that Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) exists in every state, and every state in the United States is required to address DMC as a core requirement of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJJDPA). While it is known that DMC exists within the juvenile justice system, research on the extent to which DMC occurs is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of disproportionality of minority versus nonminority youth involved within the juvenile justice system. Differential association theory, social control theory, and attribution theory were used as the theoretical basis for this study. A random sample of 500 juvenile offender case files was selected from the juvenile court system of a Southern State. These data were examined by comparing ethnic identity of juvenile offenders to determine if there were differences in the types of criminal offenses committed and the dispositions received. A chi-square test of independence was used to test associations between minority versus nonminority youth. Results of this study revealed no association between ethnicity and the types of offenses committed. However, there was a statistically significant association between ethnicity and the dispositions received among minority and nonminority youth. This study may lead to positive social change by establishing a consortium of social services prior to court intervention and by developing a database to track youth involvement in the juvenile justice system. These results can be employed by judges, schools, and probation officers in their efforts toward reducing DMC to provoke positive social change throughout the United States.
