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

by Rimonda Maroun

Book Overview

While there is extensive research published concerning juvenile justice and sentencing, most of the research focuses on individual and extra-legal factors, such as age, race, and gender, with scant attention paid 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.
