I’m cutting and pasting a conference announcement HERE - even if you are not able to attend, we should keep our eyes out for the  Dispropportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Best Practice Database and a National DMC Databook that will be launched at this conference in October.   I’ve also attached the conference brochure as you will note that the conference hopes to bring together family court, juvenile justice, child welfare, substance abuse, mental health practitioners, etc. together to review these best practices.
Stay tuned  . . .

On October 25-27, 2007, in Denver, Colorado, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will hold its annual DMC conference, Reducing Disproportionate Minority Contact in Juvenile Justice by Making the Right Connections.

The conference will feature workshops and panel presentations on best practices to reduce DMC at different juvenile justice contact points, development and use of risk assessment instruments, and cultural competency training. Two useful tools will be launched at the conference: a DMC Best Practice Database and a National DMC Databook.

The registration deadline is August 20, 2007.
