We predicted if we could impact Probation Violations, Warrants, Domestic Violence, and Parent Refusals, then we could impact detention admissions and bednights
At the same time, build on Evidence Based Programs to reduce recidivism

Two Common Ways to Report Disproportionality
Rates of Disproportionality -- Tells us the extent of over- or under-representation of a population
Risk Ratio -- Tells us the relative disproportionality of one group compared to another group
22
Disproportionality Rate Calculation
A number less than 1 represents UNDER-representation; larger than 1=OVER-representation
State A % Child Pop
% FC Pop Rate
White 74% 64% 64/74=.86
Afr-Am 18% 32% 32/18=1.8
23
Risk Ratio Calculation
In this example, African American children are in foster care at a rate that is 2.2 times higher than the rate for White children
State A % Child Pop
% FC Pop
Rate Risk Ratio
White 74% 64% 64/74=.86
Afr-Am 18% 32% 32/17=1.9
1.9/.86=2.2

Reducing racial disparities is very complex
Must focus on the principles of JDAI - leadership, collaboration, focused and intentional strategies, data driven decision making
To sustain the effort, must create a paradigm shift
It’s all about creating a fair and equitable system for the kids in our community
