Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC)
Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) in the juvenile justice system
has been a target of study and intervention in Sedgwick County.
- The Summary Report provides detailed information on the
activities and the data collected and analyzed during the 3 year DMC
Pilot Project in the 18th Judicial District.
- Mark Masterson delivered a DMC Project PowerPoint presentation
to the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners on January 2,
2008.
- Sedgwick County was selected to join the Models for Change
initiative by the MacArthur Foundation. Kansas is one of four states
selected in a highly competitive process by the John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to participate in a new action
network to reduce the disproportionate number of minority youth in
the juvenile justice system. Kansas is now one of 12 states
providing leadership as part of MacArthur’s $120 million Models for
Change, a national initiative to reform juvenile justice across the
country.
