The goal of this study was to understand whether ethnic pride among young, incarcerated Black and Latino men was associated with successful community reentry. We interviewed 397 Black and Latino men 16 to 18 years old in a New York City jail and then again 1 year after their release to determine the relationship between participants’ sense of ethnic pride during incarceration, and substance use, violence, recidivism, and education/employment after release from jail. Participants with higher ethnic pride scores were less likely to engage in illegal activities and be reincarcerated. Ethnic pride was also associated with feeling safe in gangs and positive attitudes toward avoiding violence in situations of conflict. Ethnic pride was not associated with substance use, education, or engagement in community-based organizations post release. This study demonstrated that ethnic pride might be a source of strength that young men of color can harness for successful community reentry after release from jail.

出狱后的年轻黑人和拉丁裔男子的民族自豪感与健康和社会结果的关联

这项研究的目的是了解年轻、被监禁的黑人和拉丁裔男性的种族自豪感是否与成功重返社区有关。我们在纽约市监狱采访了 397 名 16 至 18 岁的黑人和拉丁裔男子，然后在他们获释 1 年后再次采访，以确定参与者在监禁期间的民族自豪感与药物滥用、暴力、再犯和教育之间的关系/出狱后的工作。种族自豪感得分较高的参与者不太可能从事非法活动并被再次监禁。民族自豪感还与在帮派中感到安全以及在冲突情况下避免暴力的积极态度有关。民族自豪感与释放后的物质使用、教育或社区组织的参与无关。
