Abstract

Dutch Caribbean-born women form one of the largest female ethnic minority groups in the Netherlands and are overrepresented in Dutch crime statistics. Experienced racism has been shown to weaken bonds to society and has been linked to (female) offending among African Americans. In the Netherlands and across the Caribbean research on experienced racism and offending is scarce. The current study examines the relationship between self-reported offending, weakened attachments and experienced racism among 328 Dutch Caribbean-born women. Results show that more experienced racism is related to both weakened attachments as to higher rates of self-reported offending across the life course.

摘要

荷兰加勒比出生的妇女是荷兰最大的女性少数族裔群体之一，在荷兰犯罪统计中人数过多。事实证明，有经验的种族主义削弱了与社会的联系，并与非裔美国人中的（女性）犯罪联系在一起。在荷兰和整个加勒比海地区，对于经验丰富的种族主义和冒犯行为的研究很少。本研究调查了328名荷兰加勒比出生的妇女中自我报告的犯罪，依恋减弱和经历的种族主义之间的关系。结果表明，更有经验的种族主义与较弱的依恋感以及在整个人生过程中自我报告的犯罪率较高有关。
