OBJECTIVE Childhood parental incarceration has been linked to increased rates of delinquency and arrest during adolescence and young adulthood; however, previous research has focused on White and/or Black samples rather than Latinx youth. We examined relationships between childhood parental incarceration and later delinquency and arrest among Puerto Rican youth living in Puerto Rico (majority context) and the mainland United States (minority context). HYPOTHESES We expected that childhood parental incarceration would be significantly linked to delinquent behavior and arrest. In line with acculturation theory, we hypothesized that residence (proxy for minority status) would be significantly related to delinquent outcomes and that an interaction effect would emerge between parental incarceration and residence. METHOD Longitudinal data from the Boricua Youth Study were examined for 1,294 Puerto Rican youth from the South Bronx, NY (minority context) and greater San Juan, PR (majority context). We conducted a series of negative binomial and logistic regressions to determine the effects of parental incarceration and residence in childhood on self-reported delinquent behavior and arrest in adolescence and young adulthood, while also examining factors previously linked to delinquency in Puerto Rican youth. RESULTS Childhood parental incarceration and South Bronx residence were both linked to delinquent behavior but not arrest, even when simultaneously examining several individual, diagnostic, environment/social, and family factors reported in childhood. However, we did not observe an interaction effect between parental incarceration and residence for either outcome. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that Puerto Rican youth with histories of parental incarceration could benefit from targeted programs aimed at preventing future delinquency.

在两种情况下，波多黎各青少年和年轻人中儿童期的父母监禁和后来的不良后果。

目的儿童期父母的监禁与青春期和成年期的犯罪和逮捕率增加有关。但是，以前的研究重点是白人和/或黑人样本，而不是拉丁裔青年。我们研究了童年父母的监禁与后来的犯罪和逮捕之间的关系，这些人生活在波多黎各（多数情况下）和美国本土（少数民族背景下）的波多黎各青年之间。假设我们希望儿童期父母的监禁与犯罪行为和逮捕有很大关系。根据文化适应理论，我们假设居留权（少数群体身份的代理人）将与犯罪后果显着相关，并且在父母的监禁与居留之间会出现相互作用。方法研究了来自Boricua青年研究的纵向数据，调查了来自纽约州南布朗克斯（少数族裔）和大圣胡安（多数族裔）的1,294名波多黎各青年。我们进行了一系列负二项式和逻辑回归分析，以确定父母的监禁和童年居住对自我报告的犯罪行为和青春期及成年期逮捕的影响，同时还检查了以前与波多黎各青年犯罪有关的因素。结果儿童期父母的监禁和南布朗克斯的住所都与犯罪行为有关，但没有逮捕，即使同时检查儿童期报告的几个个人，诊断，环境/社会和家庭因素也是如此。然而，我们均未观察到父母监禁与居住权对两种结局都有交互作用。结论研究结果表明，具有父母监禁历史的波多黎各青年可以受益于旨在防止未来犯罪的有针对性的计划。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
