The conference theme is "Law Enforcement Solutions for Reducing Racial Disparities and Disproportionate Minority Contact in Juvenile Justice."Presented through a grant to the Coalition for Juvenile Justice, the September conference is designed to expand partnerships among state juvenile justice advisory groups, state juvenile justice agencies, local juvenile justice practitioners, and law enforcement officers seeking ways to reduce racial disparities and disproportionately high rates of juvenile justice system contact for minority youth. The conference will focus on law enforcement officers' first points of contact with at-risk and offending youth and on the challenges states face in addressing the federal core protection on DMC.
