不良童年经历与一系列健康、精神和行为问题（包括反社会行为）有关。犯罪学家最近利用不良的童年经历作为一个组织的研究框架，并表明不良的童年经历与犯罪，暴力和更慢性/严重的犯罪生涯。然而，人们对儿童时期与特定形式犯罪有关的不良经历以及其影响是否因种族和族裔而异知之甚少。使用的样本2520名男性禁闭少年犯，目前的研究采用流行病学表格的赔率（未调整和调整的发病，总裁决，和总的家庭安置），以评估的意义，承诺杀人，性侵犯，严重的人/财产犯罪的儿童不良经历的数量。不良童年经历的影响在不同种族和民族群体以及不同犯罪类型之间差异很大。不良的童年经历与性犯罪密切相关，但与杀人和严重的人身/财产犯罪呈负相关。在非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和白人中也可以看到不良童年经历的不同影响。建议未来的研究，以澄清不良的童年经历表现在特定形式的犯罪行为的机制。
Adverse childhood experiences are associated with an array of health, psychiatric, and behavioral problems including antisocial behavior. Criminologists have recently utilized adverse childhood experiences as an organizing research framework and shown that adverse childhood experiences are associated with delinquency, violence, and more chronic/severe criminal careers. However, much less is known about adverse childhood experiences vis-à-vis specific forms of crime and whether the effects vary across race and ethnicity. Using a sample of 2520 male confined juvenile delinquents, the current study used epidemiological tables of odds (both unadjusted and adjusted for onset, total adjudications, and total out of home placements) to evaluate the significance of the number of adverse childhood experiences on commitment for homicide, sexual assault, and serious persons/property offending. The effects of adverse childhood experiences vary considerably across racial and ethnic groups and across offense types. Adverse childhood experiences are strongly and positively associated with sexual offending, but negatively associated with homicide and serious person/property offending. Differential effects of adverse childhood experiences were also seen among African Americans, Hispanics, and whites. Suggestions for future research to clarify the mechanisms by which adverse childhood experiences manifest in specific forms of criminal behavior are offered.
