我们分析了逮捕的患病率（年龄范围从24岁到34岁）跨性别和种族/民族的国家青少年健康纵向研究的全国代表性数据。调查结果显示，30%的美国成年人（24-34岁）报告一生中至少被捕一次。男性的终生逮捕率（43%）是女性（17%）的两倍多。不同种族/族裔群体的逮捕风险并不相同，19%的亚洲/太平洋岛民受访者报告逮捕，29%的白色受访者报告逮捕，38%的黑人受访者报告逮捕，40%的美国印第安人/土著美国人报告逮捕。目前的结果支持最近从其他来源收集的证据，但表明逮捕风险在性别或种族/民族类别中并不均匀。
We analyzed the prevalence of arrest (ages ranged from 24 to 34) across sex and race/ethnicity by drawing on nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Findings revealed 30 % of U.S. adults (aged 24-34) reported being arrested at least once in their lifetime. Prevalence of lifetime arrest for males (43 %) was more than two times that of females (17 %). Arrest risk was not homogenous across racial/ethnic groups with 19 % of Asian/Pacific Islander respondents reporting an arrest, 29 % of White respondents reporting an arrest, 38 % Black respondents reporting an arrest, and 40 % of American Indian/Native Americans reporting an arrest. The current results support recent evidence gleaned from alternative sources but suggest arrest risk is not homogenous across sex or racial/ethnic categories.
