Circumvent the formal processing of first-time


Teen Court is a juvenile diversion program designed to circumvent the formal processing of first-time juvenile offenders in the juvenile justice system. The article "An Experimental Evaluation of Teen Courts" (J. of Experimental Criminology, 2008: 137-163) reported on study in which offenders were randomly assigned either to Teen Court or to the traditional Department of Juvenile Services techniques of processing. Of the 56 TC individuals, 18 subsequently recidivated (look it up!) throughout the 18-month follow-up period, while 12 of the 51 DJS individuals did so. Does the data propose that the true proportion of TC individuals who recidivate throughout the specified follow-up period differs from the proportion of DJS individuals who do so? Determine and test the relevant hypotheses by obtaining a P-value and then using a significance level of .10.
