Abstract Hispanic/Latinos are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. Using convenience sampling, the present study examined the lifetime and recent offending behavior of Hispanic/Latinos involved in community corrections in Miami, Florida. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Participants were mostly male (59.7%), less than 40 years old (84.1%), and almost half were of Cuban descent (48.5%). Women were less likely to manufacture or sell drugs than men (AOR = .42, p < .03), and more likely to report recent prostitution (AOR = 7.34, p < .001) and stealing from houses or shops (AOR = 2.68, p < .01). Central Americans were less likely to report alcohol and drug related offenses than Cubans. Findings suggest that criminality among Hispanic/Latinos may vary by gender and by sub-groups. Prevention programs should be tailored accordingly.

西班牙裔/拉美裔刑事司法客户中犯罪行为的性别，年龄和种族差异

摘要西班牙裔/拉丁裔在刑事司法系统中所占比例过高。使用便利抽样，本研究调查了佛罗里达州迈阿密市参与社区矫正的西班牙裔/拉丁裔的一生和近期犯罪行为。进行了描述性统计和多元逻辑回归分析。参加者主要是男性（59.7％），不到40岁（84.1％）和几乎一半的古巴血统（48.5％）。与男性相比，女性制造或出售毒品的可能性较小（AOR = .42，p <.03），并且更有可能报告最近的卖淫（AOR = 7.34，p <.001）和从房屋或商店偷窃（AOR = 2.68） ，p <.01）。与古巴人相比，中美洲人报告与酒精和毒品有关的犯罪的可能性较小。调查结果表明，西班牙裔/拉丁美洲裔的犯罪可能因性别和亚组而异。预防方案应相应地制定。
