abstract="The criminal justice system has recognized the need to focus on the delinquent behavior of females; however, the research being conducted focuses on the differences between male and female delinquency and assumes that females are a homogeneous group. In addition, research on Latinas that offers insight into factors that impact their delinquency is limited. The present study uses a nationally representative data set to assess the differential impact of risk indicators on Latina and White female delinquency. The findings highlight the need for race-specific research. Implications for delinquency prevention and intervention programs are discussed. <br><br>KEYWORDS: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency;<p />",
