ANNOTATION: Documents are provided from the symposium “The Overrepresentation of Children of Color in America’s Juvenile Justice System and Child Welfare Systems.” “The symposium was designed to illuminate the work of juvenile justice and child welfare systems in this area – and the degree to which the systems’ efforts are or are not integrated – and to focus on the ways in which the federal, state, and local government might support both systems in achieving better outcomes for children and promote policies to better integrate their efforts” (p.7). Papers of this collection are: “Understanding Racial and Ethnic Disparity in Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice” by Bridgette Lery, Ada Skyles, Fred Wulczyn, and Jeffrey Butts; “Child Welfare Commentary” by Dennette Derezotes; “Juvenile Justice Commentary” by Raquel Mariscal; and “Policy Reforms to Address Racial and Ethnic Disparity and Disproportionality in the Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Systems: Federal, State, and Local Action” by Shay Bilchik.
