4:00-5:00 Gilpatrick A Elizabeth Nebraska State Bar Association Anne Hobbs, UNO Juvenile Justice Institute Panelists will discuss the growth in opportunities for justice system research and how the work of applied sociologists is used to improve justice system processes and practices, with a particular focus on improving access and fairness for racial and ethnic minorities. Panelists will briefly highlight four recent studies including: assessing the over representation of minority youth in a state’s juvenile justice system; understanding the experience of recent African refugees involved in the justice system; evaluating court’s efforts to reduce the prevalence of failure to appear as a means of reducing the overrepresentation of minorities in jail populations, and evaluating the impact of legislation meant to improve the extent to which juries are representative of the communities that they serve.
