Join us in the fight to stopRED.
What is RED?
Racial and ethnic disparities (RED) exist if a specific minority group's rate of contact at particular points in the juvenile justice system are disproportionately higher than the rate of contact for other groups.
In Missouri, black youth are more than twice as likely to be referred to the juvenile court as white youth, and they are over-represented at the other system contact points as well.
It's time to reevaluate the way Black youth are regarded in our state. It's time to stopRED.
