Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that white youths in juvenile detention centers are at a higher risk of being sexually victimized than their minority counterparts. This may be due to a number of factors, including the perceived vulnerability of white youths, their lower status in the social hierarchy within these facilities, and the fact that staff may be more likely to ignore or dismiss their complaints of abuse.
