ANNOTATION: The ability of the Peoria County Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Project to utilize a "data template that enables local jurisdictions to strategically gather data to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in their juvenile justice systems" is examined (p. 3). This report is divided into five parts: overview; background of the pilot site; data collection and analysis capacity; data collection and analysis of template elements -- annual trend data for total court-age population and quarterly data for arrest, referral to detention facility, detention admission screening, admission to detention facility, detention utilization, and alternatives to detention; and summary.
