Summary - (released March 13, 2003) This study—the sixth in a series of juvenile defense state assessments by the American Bar Association Juvenile Justice Center—states that the Ohio juvenile justice system suffers from a lack of resources and other systemic barriers. The study also points out that African-American youth appear to be among those who are pushed into the system in largely disproportionate numbers.
