# **Racial Disparity in the Juvenile Justice System**

**Though the rate of incarceration among youth of all races and ethnicities has declined, there is still a great deal of racial disparity in the juvenile justice system. This infographic shows that disparity starts early and can have a large impact on youth and communities at large.
