Thesis (Ph.D.)--City University of New York, 2001.

This dissertation examines the disposition and pre-trial detention of juveniles in one medium-sized county located in a northeastern state. The sample (N = 642) included blacks, whites, and Hispanic males and females adjudicated delinquent in the summer of 2000. The following independent variables were analyzed with respect to the dependent variables of detention and a disposition of out-of-home placement: age, sex, address, race, current offense (misdemeanors, violent misdemeanors, felonies, violent felonies, and probation violations), prior offense (misdemeanors, violent misdemeanors, felonies, and violent felonies), and previous dispositions (community or placement). In addition, for juveniles appearing in court (n = 390), parental and legal representation in court were also examined. Probation violations, current charges, previous convictions, and previous dispositions all predicted placement. Urban address was significant suggesting a possible reason for minority overrepresentation. The other major finding was that private defense was superior to public defense and that youth without legal representation had the lowest probability of placement.
