“…For instance, in a series of in-depth interviews conducted with immigrants from several Latin American countries (Mexico, El Salvador, Cuba, and Guatemala), Menjívar and Bejarano ( 2004 ) identifi ed a number of factors that substantially infl uenced respondents' perceptions of crime and the police, including bifocal lens (i.e., infl uences of knowledge and experiences regarding crime, police, and the justice systems in both their home country and the United States), and their experiences with immigration offi cials. Immigrants tend to initially use the laws and customary procedures (e.g., police apathy, corruption, rigidity) from their home countries as a frame of reference on how laws might function in the United States (Erez, 2000 ).…”

Eddie Torbio-Ruiz was asked to come to the police station in Reno, Nevada, voluntarily, to discuss allegations that he had sexually molested his girlfriend's two underage granddaughters. Although Eddie's native language was Spanish and he spoke English poorly, he was interrogated by English-speaking Detective Curtis Lampert. After asking a series of background questions, Lampert began an accusatory interrogation designed to cause Eddie to admit to the accusations against him. Throughout the interrogation, Lampert spoke faster than even native English speakers would understand easily. Though Eddie appeared superfi cially to understand Lampert, his problems with understanding became clearer as the interrogation progressed.Eddie initially denied all allegations, but Detective Lampert was a master interrogator who very cleverly enacted strategies interrogation scholars have shown to promote both true and false confessions. As Lampert used these strategies to move Eddie from denial to admission, Eddie appeared to admit to sexually abusive behaviors with the girls. But at several points he answered "yes" to questions or assertions that he had committed specifi c actions toward the girls, only to answer with a vehement "Oh, no!" when asked the very same question only a short time later. At many points in the interrogation, it was diffi cult to clearly infer that he knew what he had been asked, what he was responding to, or whether he and Detective Lampert were talking about the same things. Perhaps the clearest indicator of Eddie's misunderstanding came after he had been charged. When his attorney, Jennifer Lunt, tried to tell him the implications of his confession, Eddie denied that

“…Some male immigrants may encounter more difficulties in the acculturation process if they have distorted beliefs about manhood related to, for example, alcohol consumption or gender differences in society, beliefs that are more rejected and penalized in the host country (Erez, 2000;Hancock & Siu, 2009). In the case of immigrant women, many tend to be too dependent on their partners, may not understand immigration laws, count on less social networks, and experience more isolation making them more vulnerable than immigrant men (Davis & Erez, 1998;Erez, 2000;Hancock & Siu, 2009;Raj & Silverman, 2002).…”

“…Low-income immigrant women also lack social and family networks, fear deportation, and experience problems understanding the laws of the host country, the kind of disadvantages that make them and their offspring more dependent of the family head and more vulnerable as well (Erez, 2000;Fernández-Montalvo, Echauri, Martínez, & Azcárate, 2011;Hancock & Siu, 2009;Raj & Silverman, 2002).…”

Sadly, many Latinas in the United States and Spain live in domestically violent homes (Erez, 2000;Hancock & Siu, 2009;Fernández-Montalvo, Echauri, Martínez, & Azcárate, 2011) where children become direct victims of that violence (Maiter, Stalker, & Alaggia, 2009 …”

Evidence suggests that school-age Latino immigrants from low socioeconomic backgrounds are at risk of multiple victimization with serious implications for their mental health and academic competence. This theory-oriented paper proposes that the overlapping of certain characteristics in the status of immigrant have been somehow overlooked or not properly addressed when dealing with immigrants' academic underachievement in Spain. Further, it considers Latino immigrant students susceptible to suffer more than one form of violence and describes how the acculturation process and social inequality clash with the host country's values. All this seem to exert too much stress on the family, bringing about patterns of victimization of children and youth that hinder competence in several domains. The inclusion in this paper of some American and Canadian neuroscience studies on attentional deficits are relevant to understand immigrants that struggle in Spanish schools. Finally, it discusses the pernicious effects of poly-victimization and the potential benefits of prevention and intervention programs. factores como son el proceso de adaptación a una nueva cultura y la desventaja económica ejercen mucho estrés en la familia dando lugar a situaciones de maltrato hacia los niños y adolescentes, afectando considerablemente la competencia del individuo en varias áreas. La inclusión en esta investigación de algunos estudios de la neurociencia de países como los Estados Unidos y Canadá sobre deficiencias en la atención de los niños, se hace necesaria para así entender mejor la crítica situación que sufren muchos inmigrantes en los centros educativos españoles. Finalmente, además de discutir sobre los efectos perniciosos de la polivictimización, se habla del beneficio potencial que tienen los programas de prevención e intervención. Keywords

“…(Beehler, Birman, & Campbell, 2012;Pumariega, Rothe, & Pumariega, 2005). Not only that, all too often immigrant women and children find themselves in a weaker position becoming targets from frustrated family heads (Erez, 2000;Erez, Adelman, & Gregory, 2009). Additional strains like differences in laws, culture and beliefs on the role of women in society and harsher parental discipline might contribute to violent episodes among family members (Hancock & Siu, 2009 (Childhood Observatory, 2011).…”

The present study speculates that histories of multiple victimization during childhood and adolescence are more prevalent among low-income adult immigrants than among low-income adult nonimmigrants. Method: a total sample of 53 individuals (N=53) completed the JVQ-Adult Retrospective Victimization. Results: a t test showed no significant differences between the immigrant group (M=3.34) and the non-immigrant group (M=3.00), (t(51)=.310, df=51, p=.758), and results from a Mann-Whitney U either (U=186.500, Z=-.276, p=.783). Conclusion: no significant differences were found between immigrants and non-immigrants. Nevertheless, it raises concerns about other studies from public and private organizations revealing high rates of inter-partner violence and child maltreatment among the immigrant population in Spain.
