| Georgia’s Plan to Reduce DMC |
|
Adolescents, Neighborhoods and Violence: Recent Findings from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. |
|
|
|
This report includes an overview of statistics regarding DMC trends over the 15 years preceding 2003. Dr. John Speir’s study of DMC in Georgia finds that "race seems to play a significant role in decision making only at the detention stage" and that "non-white males and females are more than twice as likely to be detained compared to whites". Thus, Georgia’s plan to reduce DMC concentrates on reducing the detention of minority juveniles through the reduction of "levels of serious and violent offenses committed by minority offenders".

This report brings together four separate papers written using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN). The PHDCN, conducted in 1995-96 looked at residents of 343 neighborhoods in Chicago, interviewing 25-50 residents of each neighborhood, resulting in 8782 surveys.
Additionally, 27000 observations were made by researchers regarding neighborhood conditions. At the same time, a longitudinal study of youth was conducted in 80 neighborhoods- 6212 participants from 7 age cohorts (0-18) with data collected in 3 waves. The PHDCN has yielded large amounts of data that have since been used to study the effects of neighborhood composition on youth attitudes and behaviors surrounding crime,
along with many other factors.
