More than 95 percent of the juveniles behind bars in Baltimore City are minorities.
The staggering numbers have forced the state to take a closer look at the problem and that started Wednesday with a statewide conference involving experts in the fields of criminal justice, education and mental health.
These were not the kinds of problems that could be solved in a one-day conference, experts said. At issue is why so many minority youth are being arrested and detained, unequally, all across the state.

There's a book out at Barnes and Noble will answer the question called, The New Jim Crow Laws.
It is the culture! It needs to be changed ,that breaking the law is a game!
I would never guessed that.
Of course you wouldn't have :)
I thought they were too busy texting to commit crimes.

Unequally? What does that even mean?
Maybe they are committing crimes unequally?
Here we go with some more bs.
And the BOE still puts pressure on administrators to not suspend minorities. Do the crime, serve the time. Regardless of color.
No surprise!
Baltimore's population is 95% minorities, so no wonder 95% of incarcerated Baltimore juveniles are minorities.
Good point 6:10. Since when is the a majority considered a minority group?
i JUST CANT BELIEVE IT!
Lack of a decent role-model?
maybe, just maybe, that's because 95% of the juvenile criminals are minorities.
maybe it's because they did something wrong ...broke a law...GASP!
They know WHY the rates are that high for AA juveniles but they cannot exactly come out and say it or they would be ruined in this country.
