本研究探讨了青少年司法、青少年服务社区组织、学校、社会服务和信仰社区的利益相关者对不成比例的少数群体接触（DMC）的看法和认识。这项研究来源于一项全州范围的评估，其中包括对在少年司法系统中有个人和专业关系的个人的亲自采访。研究结果支持这样一种观点，即个人要么没有意识到DMC的普遍性，要么已经在体制内形成了对少数民族青年的偏见，要么没有意识到DMC对少数民族青年发展的重要性。
This study explores perceptions and awareness of disproportionate minority contact (DMC) by stakeholders in juvenile justice, youth-serving community organizations, schools, social services, and the faith community. This study is derived from a statewide assessment, which included in-person interviews with individuals that have personal and professional relationships within the juvenile justice system. Findings support the contention that individuals are either unaware of the prevalence of DMC, have already formed prejudices about minority youth within the system, or do not appreciate the degree of importance DMC has on the development of minority youth.
