abstract="The paper examines the over-representation of African-American children and youth in poverty and the child protective and juvenile justice systems, and the ultimate disproportionate representation of African-American adults among the homeless and incarcerated populations. Specifically, we report data on the phenomenon of &quot;crossover youth,&quot; those children growing up in the dependency system who become involved in the juvenile justice system. In addition, data are presented from a study of homeless youth indicating a greater prevalence of African-American youth, and greater juvenile incarceration among African-American homeless youth relative to other homeless youth.<p />",
