Reducing Disproportionate Minority Contact Webinar Recording Available
If you were unable to attend the webcast about utilizing data collection to improve disproportionate minority contact (DMC) outcomes, you can register to watch the recording here.
DMC is an initiative that focuses on reducing the disproportionate arrests of minority youth having contact with the juvenile justice system.
The DMC standards address all areas of from first point-of-contact or first arrest through the continuum of juvenile justice to detention. This webinar will discuss contributing factors (including attitudes and beliefs) for DMC issues within communities.
But it leaves the question how can juvenile programs and facilities better address the issues?
One way is with reliable and consistent data collection.
After we review the DMC initiative, we share with you a software system that was developed specifically to track key data points for DMC needs including:
- Race
- Ethnicity
- Offense
- Gender
- Geography (by zip code)
Register here to see how data collection, comprehensive reporting, and community collaboration are essential to developing a comprehensive plan of action to address DMC issues.
RiteTrack operates as the single point-of-entry and creates the first point-of-contact documentation, that can be used by alternative reporting centers, probation organizations, and juvenile detention facilities. Help shift the environment in your program by actively monitoring the standards and using that to create a plan of action to reduce DMC throughout your organization.
If you’d like to schedule a demonstration of RiteTrack, you can email Steve Koenig.
