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.
  • An article for the editorial board, Keep Youths out of Jail, was published in the January 7, 2008 issue of The Wichita Eagle. The article is provided with permission from The Wichita Eagle.
