Hispanic/White Racial Disparity in Commitment Rates per 100,000 Youth, 2013 American Indian commitment disparities, 2013 State-by-state analysis of American Indian youth is hampered by their small number and attendant small percentage of the population in many states. Roughly 90 percent of American Indian juveniles live in just 26 states. In 24 states, less than 1 percent of youth are American Indian. Nationwide, American Indian youth were nearly four times as likely as white youth to be committed. In three states (Minnesota, Illinois and Vermont), the American Indian/white disparity is more than ten-to-one, meaning that American Indian youth are more than 10 times as likely as white juveniles to be committed. Among the 26 states with a significant proportion (more than one percent of the total population) of American Indian youth, only New Mexico has no American Indian/white disparity. Page 38 of 112
American Indian/White Racial Disparity in Commitment Rates per 100,000 Youth, 2013 Commitment disparities, 2003 versus 2013 Equally distressing to the existence of racial and ethnic disparities is their persistence. Under the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, since 1988 states have been required to address disparities in confinement.8)In 1992, this law was expanded to require that measurements of disparity be taken at all points of contact in the system rather than just the point of confinement. Those disparities persist today, having remained constant for Hispanic youth while growing for African American and American Indian youth over this ten-year period. Racial Disparities Grew Nationally, But Not In All States Trends in African American to White Commitment Disparities In 2003, African American youth were 3.7 times as likely as white youth to be committed; by 2013, that ratio had grown to 4.3, a 15 percent increase in the disparity. Between 2003 and 2013, 33 states and the District of Columbia had higher black/white commitment disparities than 10 years before, and 17 states saw decreases or no changes. Page 39 of 112
