尽管不良童年经历(ACE)对犯罪的有害影响已经确定，但人们对可能缓冲这种关系的可能保护因素知之甚少。目前的研究使用了来自南部一个大州的28,000多名被判刑的罪犯的样本，调查了物质(非)使用在A级和累犯率之间的关系上的作用，以及这些结果是否因种族/民族和性别而不同。结果表明，ACEs增加了从事中到高度药物使用的青少年再次犯罪的可能性。然而，在报告很少或根本不使用药物的年轻人中没有发现这种影响。此外，这些影响在种族/族裔和性别上基本一致。讨论了这种缓冲效应的政策含义，以及未来研究的局限性和方向。
Although the deleterious impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on offending has been established, less is known about the possible protective factors that may buffer this relationship. Using a sample of over 28,000 adjudicated delinquents from a large southern state, the current study investigated the role of substance (non)use on the relationship between ACEs and recidivism and whether these results differed by race/ethnicity and sex. Results illustrate that ACEs increase the likelihood of recidivism among youth who engaged in moderate-to-high substance use. However, this effect was not found among youth who reported little-to-no substance use. Furthermore, these effects were largely consistent across race/ethnicity and sex. Policy implications of this buffering effect are discussed as well as limitations and directions for future research.
