这项研究调查了暴力和移民之间的关系。社区环境的重要性，包括酒精供应，也进行了调查。使用来自街区群体的数据，这些关系在加利福尼亚三个有大量移民人口的社区中进行了检验。数据油的社会经济特征与警方有关青年的数据和有关酒精供应的数据相结合。这些数据在一个块组中进行地理编码，并计算基于人口的比率。使用专门的回归包来检查这些关系。结果表明，移民和青少年暴力无关，但暴力是由酒精可得性预测的，家庭破裂和职业角色榜样等背景因素也被发现是青少年暴力的重要预测因素。此外，暴力的背景对于理解为什么社区内的暴力有所不同也很重要。预防暴力的努力可能会受益于监管努力，以减少存在于拉丁裔社区的高浓度酒精销售点。
This study examined the relationship between violence and immigration. The importance of neighborhood context, including alcohol availability, was also investigated. Using data from block groups, these relationships were examined in three California communities with significant immigrant populations. Data oil socioeconomic characteristics were combined with police data concerning youth and data on alcohol availability. These data were geocoded in a block group, and population-based rates were calculated A specialized regression package was used to examine these relationships. Results indicated that immigration and youth violence were not related, but that violence was predicted by alcohol availability Contextual factors such as family breakdown and professional role models were also found to be significant predictors of youth violence. Furthermore, the context of violence is important bl understanding why violence varies within communities. Violence prevention efforts may benefit from regulatory efforts to reduce the high concentrations of alcohol outlets that exist in Latino neighborhoods.
