关于不成比例的少数族裔接触的大量文献中缺少对影响青少年被捕风险的因素的研究。作者利用 1997 年全国青少年纵向调查，研究了青少年被捕中的种族/民族差异（扣除自我报告的犯罪行为）。本研究从少数族裔威胁的角度进行研究，探讨了少数族裔人口相对规模和少数族裔经济不平等的宏观水平是否加剧了不平等。结果表明，在所有背景下，黑人青年比白人青年被捕的风险更高，但这种差异在以非黑人为主的社区中被放大。西班牙裔和白人青少年被捕风险之间的差异没有达到统计显着性，或者在不同社区之间存在差异。研究结果未能为威胁观点提供支持，但强烈支持良性忽视论点。讨论了对理论和未来研究的影响。
Missing from the considerable body of literature on disproportionate minority contact is an examination of the factors that influence risk of juvenile arrest. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, the author examines racial/ethnic disparities in youth arrest, net of self-reported delinquency. Drawing from research using a minority threat perspective, this study examines whether disparities are exacerbated by macro levels of the relative size of the minority population and minority economic inequality. The results indicate Black youth have a higher risk of arrest than White youth in all contextual climates, but this disparity is magnified in predominantly non-Black communities. Differences between Hispanic and White youths' risk of arrest did not reach statistical significance or vary across communities. The findings failed to yield support for the threat perspective but strongly supported the benign neglect thesis. Implications for theory and future research are discussed.
