摘要

文献显示,在少年司法系统中,少数民族/种族青少年的比例过高。本研究调查了在少年法庭上为少数民族/种族青少年提供法律代理是否会减少定罪和减轻严厉制裁。样本包括10938名青年(2003-2007),其中32%为少数民族青年。该州的青少年量刑指南被用来评估法律代理的做法。在控制犯罪历史和犯罪严重程度的情况下,采用多项回归来检验法律代表和种族对定罪和制裁的影响。结果是,为少数民族/种族和非少数民族青年提供法律代理降低了定罪的可能性。但是,法律代理也与比建议的量刑准则更轻或更严厉的制裁有关。综上所述,青少年在少年法庭的法律代表可能会导致刑事指控被撤销,但对于那些被定罪的青少年,律师的存在可能会导致接受更严厉的制裁。

Legal Representation and Education for Minority Youth Intervention
Literature has revealed that ethnic/racial minority youth are over-represented in the juvenile justice system. The present study investigated whether providing legal representation to ethnic/racial minority youth in juvenile court would lead to fewer convictions and less severe sanctions. The sample consisted of 10,938 youth (2003–2007), with 32% ethnic/racial minority youth. The state's juvenile sentencing guidelines were used to evaluate the legal representation practice. Multinomial regressions were conducted to examine the effect of legal representation and ethnicity on convictions and sanctions, controlling for criminal history and severity of offense. Results were that legal representation for both ethnic/racial minority and non-minority youth decreased the likelihood of convictions. However, legal representation was also associated with less and more severe sanctions than recommended sentencing guidelines. Taken together, legal representation for youth in juvenile court may lead to dismissal of criminal charges, but for those youth who are convicted, attorney presence may lead to receiving more severe sanctions.
