Adolescent Substance Use and Other Illegal Behaviors and Racial Disparities in Criminal Justice System Involvement: Findings From a US National Survey American Journal of Public Health 102,7 (July 2012): 1307-1310. Also: http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.2105/AJPH.2012.300699 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Public Health Association Keyword(s): Arrests; Criminal Justice System; Drug Use; Illegal Activities; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We used data from a national survey to examine arrest rate disparities between African American and White adolescents (aged 12–17 years; n = 6725) in relation to drug-related and other illegal behaviors. African American adolescents were less likely than Whites to have engaged in drug use or drug selling, but were more likely to have been arrested. Racial disparities in adolescent arrest appear to result from differential treatment of minority youths and to have long-term negative effects on the lives of affected African American youths. |
