Abstract The present study is based on a secondary-data analysis of a subsample of Cuban immigrants residing in the United States. While there are no significant differences in arrest rates between U.S. natives of Cuban descent and their foreign-born counterparts, life transitions have a differential impact on behavioral outcomes when young men and women of Cuban ancestry are compared. Job instability increases the risk of arrest for men, while being a single parent increases the risk of arrest for women. Growing up in a two-parent family and marriage have crime protective effects for men, while religiosity decreases the probability of arrest for women. In both subsamples, having a family member arrested was the strongest predictor of one’s arrest status in early adulthood.

美国两代古巴移民的性别差异和逮捕方式

摘要本研究基于对居住在美国的古巴移民的子样本的二次数据分析。尽管古巴裔美国本地人和外国血统的逮捕率没有显着差异，但将古巴血统的年轻男子和妇女进行比较时，生活过渡对行为结果有不同的影响。工作不稳定会增加男性被捕的风险，而单身父母会增加女性被捕的风险。在有两个父母的家庭中长大和结婚对男性有犯罪保护作用，而宗教信仰则减少了女性被捕的可能性。在这两个子样本中，逮捕家庭成员是成年早期逮捕状态的最强预测指标。
