Race, Drug Use, And The Justice System, Amanda J. Neubauer
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
A great deal of research concludes that drug use is relatively similar across races for adults, and that men use more than women. The current study makes use of self-report delinquency surveys of students in a South Dakota State University Juvenile Delinquency course and a California State University, San Bernardino Juvenile Justice course to determine if these trends also apply to juveniles. The current study will examine race and gender trends as they relate to illicit substance use in juveniles.

The Influence Of Disorganized Neighborhoods On Delinquency, Nicole Zaun
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
Disorganized neighborhoods are associated with high levels of violence which can impact resident’s relationships and delinquency. Using self-report surveys from students in a juvenile delinquency course at South Dakota State University and a juvenile justice course at California State University, San Bernardino, this project will compare neighborhood disorganization and friend influence across delinquent behavior. It is expected that there will be a high correlation between disorganized neighborhoods and self-reported delinquency.
