虽然有人认为，对占主导地位的白色社会的不信任可能是少数民族成员的一个重要保护因素，但不信任是否也可能与少数民族成员的非规范行为有关的问题尚未得到探讨。从迈阿密，佛罗里达的调查数据，本研究实证检验这一假设的样本中的非洲裔美国人，海地，和其他加勒比岛屿黑人青少年男孩。双变量分析表明，所有三个族裔群体的种族不信任和传统形式的犯罪之间有很强的关系。这些发现也在多变量分析中，其中六个传统的预测偏差进行了统计控制。作者得出结论，种族不信任为经验预测模型增加了一个新的维度。此外，他们得出结论认为，在制定和执行预防战略时，应考虑到与种族不信任有关的问题。
While it has been suggested that mistrust of the dominant White society may be an important protective factor for some members of racial minorities, the question of whether mistrust may also be related to nonnormative behaviors among minority members has not been explored. Using survey data from Miami, Florida, this study empirically tests this hypothesis among a sample of African American, Haitian, and other Caribbean island Black adolescent boys. Bivariate analyses suggest a strong relationship between racial mistrust and conventional forms of delinquency for all three ethnic groups. These findings also held in multivariate analyses in which six traditional predictors of deviance were statistically controlled. The authors conclude that racial mistrust adds a new dimension to empirical prediction models. In addition, they conclude that issues associated with racial mistrust should be considered when developing and implementing prevention strategies.
