Connecticut law now requires all agencies involved in the juvenile justice system to report on their activities combating DMC. The 2011 Statutory Report on Disproportionate Minority Contact is a response to that legislation.

Transparency holds state agencies accountable for their efforts and educates the public about the problem of DMC. Connecticut is a leader in demanding this level of information and in broadly disseminating it. The Statutory Report is a useful tool to:

Understand the scope of efforts within state government to reduce DMC
Facilitate informed public input on plans and programming
Share successful strategies for reducing DMC
Identify points in the system where more work is needed
Find synergies between the programs of different agencies
Track the effectiveness of work over the course of subsequent years
