RE: minority overrepresentation

Two sources that I recommend are the Casey Foundation-funded book called "Race and Child Welfare" and Dorothy Roberts' book, "Shattered Bonds."

Dear List Members, I have read the postings for a while but this is my first request for information. I recall a series of postings about child welfare contributing to the overrepresentation of african american youth in the juvenile justice system. There was some debate about the accuracy of this claim. Are there any publication on this specific topic? If not, how would someone go about answering this question.

Carey
