Abstract Race/ethnicity, citizenship status, and trauma, have significant impact on delinquency and crime outcomes; though the reasons for some expected and unexpected crime pathways are still unanswered. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (n = 7,103), this study found the following results: no difference in the likelihood of engagement in delinquency and crime between blacks and whites; cumulative trauma increased delinquency and crime rates for all racial and ethnic groups; racial and ethnic minority groups compared to whites reported a significantly higher level of childhood trauma experiences; and native-born female immigrant groups (but not male) were more likely to engage in delinquency and crime than first-generation female immigrant groups. Implications and recommendations are set forth.

通过美国年轻人的创伤经历检查种族/民族，公民身份和犯罪

摘要种族/民族，公民身份和创伤对犯罪和犯罪后果有重大影响。尽管仍未找到某些预期和未预期的犯罪途径的原因。利用1997年全国青年纵向调查（n = 7,103）的数据，这项研究发现以下结果：黑人和白人之间从事犯罪和犯罪的可能性没有差异；累积的创伤增加了所有种族和族裔群体的犯罪和犯罪率；与白人相比，种族和少数民族群体的童年创伤经历水平要高得多；与第一代女性移民群体相比，本土出生的女性移民群体（而非男性）更有可能从事犯罪和犯罪活动。提出了建议和建议。
