本研究探讨了在何种程度上种族和年龄单独和共同确定的少年司法案件的结果在摄入量和司法处置男性在一个县少年法庭在爱荷华州。使用的象征性威胁的论文和强调定型观念的理论框架的解释，我们发现，是黑人和老年人增加了青年的机会，接收接收法院转介，并降低了参与摄入量分流的几率。年龄并没有条件摄入决策的非洲裔美国人，但被发现缓和的情况下，白人的结果。虽然发现了个体关系，但没有证据表明在司法处置决策中存在联合种族年龄效应。
This study examined the extent to which race and age individually and jointly determined juvenile justice case outcomes at intake and judicial disposition among males in one county juvenile court in the state of Iowa. Using an interpretation of the symbolic threat thesis and the emphasis on stereotyping as the theoretical framework, we discovered that being Black and older increased a youth's chances of receiving an intake court referral and decreased the odds of participation in intake diversion. Age did not condition intake decision making for African Americans but was discovered to temper case outcomes for Whites. Although individual relationships were found, there was no evidence of joint race-age effects in decision making at judicial disposition.
