本研究调查了爱荷华州一个县少年法院中种族和年龄单独和共同决定男性少年司法案件结果和司法处置的程度。通过对象征性威胁论的解释和对刻板印象的强调作为理论框架，我们发现，黑人和年龄较大的人增加了青少年接受接收法庭转介的机会，并降低了参与接收转移的几率。年龄并不影响非裔美国人的摄入决策，但被发现会影响白人的病例结果。尽管发现了个体关系，但没有证据表明种族年龄对司法决策的共同影响。
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.
