“…Generational differences between rates of JJS involvement among foreign born and U.S. born individuals have been identified. Both Miller 8 and Tapia 9 showed, in a nationally representative sample, that foreign-born Latinx youth (6.9%) have lower rates of JJS involvement than their U.S.-born counterparts (12.6%). Tapia also demonstrated that, between 1998 and 2008, the arrest gap between U.S.-born Latinxs and foreign-born Latinx youth widened significantly, with the rate for U.S.-born Latinxs more than double that of foreign-born Latinxs by 2008.…”

“…Further, poor rehabilitative outcomes of incarcerated Latinx youth have been noted 5,33 . For example, Abram and colleagues 4 found that Latinx youth in detention centers with two or more psychiatric disorders (i.e., internalizing, substance use, and behavioral disorders) at baseline were more likely to have a disorder at 4 ½ years of follow-up compared with Latinx youth with only a single psychiatric disorder.…”

This study examines the prevalence of trauma exposure and its association with psychiatric symptoms, substance use, and sexual activity among First-Time Offending, Court-Involved Non-Incarcerated (FTO-CINI) Latinx youth. Latinx youth (N=181), ages 12-18, were recruited from a family court in the Northeastern region of the United States as part of a longitudinal cohort study of 423 FTO-CINI youth. Baseline data on trauma exposure and symptoms, psychiatric symptoms, substance use (alcohol/marijuana), and sexual activity among the Latinx sample were analyzed by age, gender, and offense type (status versus delinquent). Almost three-quarters of Latinx FTO-CINI youth reported lifetime trauma exposure. Almost half of Latinx youth reported lifetime marijuana use, 30% reported lifetime alcohol use, and 33% reported lifetime sexual activity. Females reported higher rates of internalizing symptoms and greater affect dysregulation. Traumaexposed youth were more likely than their non-exposed peers to have reported more externalizing symptoms; trauma-exposed females compared to trauma-exposed males reported more severe internalizing symptoms. Latinx FTO-CINI females may have different behavioral health needs than their male counterparts. Court-based screening and assessment practices should attend to the specific behavioral needs of this unique, underserved population.

“…The effect sizes (e.g., odds ratios and Cohen’s d) of study findings, however, were emphasized as opposed to statistical significance alone. Fifth, methodological constraints have been documented when examining the Latinx population as a homogenous group, such as the lack of generation categorizations (e.g., foreign born vs. U.S. born) and racial identifiers (e.g., White vs Black; Tapia, 2015 ). Further exploration is needed to solidify whether the heterogeneity and intersectionality of the Latinx sample (e.g., Black Latinx and sexual gender minority status) prove to have distinct self-cutting behavior trajectories.…”

Adolescents involved in juvenile legal system are at increased risk for self-cutting behavior, however, correlates associated with elevated risk remain underresearched, particularly among youth with first involvement with the court. This study utilized an epidemiological two-year longitudinal study involving 401 adolescents at first contact with the court (Mage = 14.47; SDage = 1.94 years; 43% female; 42% Latinx/Hispanic) and an involved caregiver. Study aims examined key prospective psychosocial correlates of self-cutting behavior. Baseline assessments captured individual and family level risk and protective factors; self-cutting behavior was assessed longitudinally every four months post-baseline for 24 months. Psychosocial correlates of self-cutting behavior included adolescent affect dysregulation, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, impulsive decision making, anxiety and depression symptoms. Significant protective factors included positive communication with caregiver and family, higher self-esteem, and having a caring and supportive family. These findings suggest that internalizing symptoms as well as difficulties with emotion regulation and impulsive decision making are correlated with heightened risk for self-cutting behavior among adolescents involved in the juvenile legal system. The findings also suggest that individual and family level protective factors, like positive communication and a supportive family, are associated with decreased risk for self-cutting behavior among adolescents at first contact with the court.

“…Similarly, a study by Barnes et al (2015) of the Add Health survey data showed that 40% of Native Americans, 38% of Blacks, and 29% of Whites had been arrested by young adulthood; however, these authors did not examine arrest prevalence among Hispanic individuals. Other studies have found that inequalities in the likelihood of a self-reported arrest are not explained by differential involvement in offending, gang membership, peer effects, school and family risk factors, socioeconomic status, and neighborhood characteristics (Andersen, 2015;Crutchfield et al, 2012;Mitchell & Caudy, 2015, 2017Stevens & Morash, 2015;Tapia, 2010Tapia, , 2011Tapia, , 2015.…”

Disparities in Youth Arrest Across Racial and Ethnic Subgroups

An extensive body of research suggests that youth of color are more likely to experience an arrest than their White counterparts. Theoretically, these findings have been understood, at least in part, as the result of the differential deployment of law enforcement to areas with higher Black and Hispanic concentrations as well as stereotyped attributions of dangerousness and threat implicitly assigned to these suspects by police before and during encounters. However, previous studies typically have employed conventional racial/ethnic categorizations, which might obscure potential nuances in arrest disparities across subgroups. Using data on a statewide representative sample of adolescents from the 2018 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey ( N = 54,611), these analyses reveal that the likelihood of a self-reported arrest is greatest among Haitian, West Indian/Caribbean, Dominican, and non-Hispanic Black youth. Further, Mexican and Puerto Rican adolescents have a higher risk of experiencing an arrest than members of other Hispanic subgroups.
