Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS pCC7R0x8. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We used data from a national survey to examine arrest rate disparities between African American and White adolescents (aged 12-17 years ; n=6725) in relation to drug-related and other illegal behaviors. African American adolescents were less likely than Whites to have engaged in drug use or drug selling, but were more likelyto have been arrested. Racial disparities in adolescent arrest appear to result from differential treatment of minority youths and to have long-term negative effects on the lives of affected African American youths.
