很少有人知道拉丁美洲人的犯罪行为和累犯因素的出生(美国出生,外国出生)。本研究的重点是拉丁美洲人在社区矫正(n= 201)在迈阿密,佛罗里达,并研究了犯罪活动,药物使用和心理健康的差异出生。在2014年6月至2015年12月期间,使用便利抽样收集数据。研究问题是:参与社区矫正的拉丁美洲人的犯罪、吸毒和精神健康史是什么?参与者大多为男性(n = 120; 59.7%)、白色(n = 105; 52.2%)和古巴人(n = 97; 48.3%)。美国出生的社区矫正客户(n= 141)更有可能报告更多的终身和最近的犯罪活动;更有可能报告终身和最近的吸毒行为比外国出生的拉丁美洲人(n= 60)。在最近的心理健康方面没有发现任何差异。惩教医疗保健应该为美国出生和外国出生的拉丁美洲人提供不同的服务,如药物滥用治疗。
Little is known about the offending behavior and recidivism factors of Latinos by nativity (U.S. born, foreign-born). The present study focused on Latinos in community corrections (n= 201) in Miami, Florida, and examined differences in criminal activity, drug use, and mental health by nativity. Data were collected utilizing convenience sampling between June 2014 and December 2015. The research question was: what are the offending, drug use, and mental health histories of Latinos involved in community corrections? Participants were mostly male (n = 120; 59.7%), White (n = 105; 52.2%), and Cuban (n = 97; 48.3%). U.S. born community corrections clients (n= 141) were more likely to report more lifetime and recent criminal activity; and more likely to report lifetime and recent drug use behavior than foreign-born Latinos (n= 60). No differences were found in recent mental health. Correctional healthcare should tailor services such as substance abuse treatment differently toward U.S. born and foreign-born Latinos.
