The impact of individual and school-related factors on substance use among American Indian Youth
Substance use during adolescence poses serious developmental risks, particularly among underserved populations such as American Indian (AI) youth. This study uses multilevel modeling to examine the relationship between school-level factors and the likelihood of AI youth substance use, accounting for student-level variation. Self-report surveys were collected from 8th, 10th, and 12th-grade students during the 2004 spring semester. Analyses focused…

Immigration Status and Crime
Most studies assessing the relationship between immigration and crime rely on official data and tend to examine immigration status as citizen versus non-citizen. The categorization of non-citizen does not often distinguish between individuals with different statuses. The present study relies on self-report data from a sample of predominantly Hispanic immigrant respondents to explore whether undocumented immigrants, relative to U.S. citizens, are …

Immigrants' Perceptions of the Police
Though widely assessed, research on perceptions of procedural justice and police legitimacy has predominantly focused on assessing the general population and has neglected racial and ethnic minorities, as well as other historically marginalized people. Among the neglected groups are undocumented immigrants from Latin America. The present study examines a community sample of undocumented and documented immigrants ( n = 208) residing in a large cou…
Challenges to Identifying Labor Trafficking at the Local Level
The present study focuses on local efforts in two California counties that are developing strategic responses to better identify and respond to labor trafficking in their communities. Data from 15 semi-structured qualitative interviews with service providers, law enforcement, and other key stakeholders are analyzed to explore the challenges they face in identifying victims of labor trafficking and the actions they are taking to address these chal…
Experiencing Voices
This paper analyzes police and public reactions to an intergroup-communication intervention developed and tested in Santa Barbara, California. We discuss the theory underlying the development of the intervention as well as its implementation as a means of improving relationships between police officers and members of the Hispanic community. Based on thematic analysis of interviews with program participants, we provide qualitative evidence about p…
Delinquency, drug use, and gang membership in the English-speaking Caribbean
In this study, the authors examine the prevalence of self-reported delinquency, drug use, and gang membership among school-attending youth in nine English-speaking Caribbean nations including Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. We also examine the frequency of these problem behaviors by gender and ethnicity. In doing so, we seek to gain …
Risk and protective factors related to alcohol and drug use amongst American Indian youth
The goal of this study is to assess the relevance of the Social Development Model (SDM) in predicting substance use across American Indian (AI) youth. We rely on self-reported data collected as part of the 2004 Arizona Youth Survey (AYS). The final sample included 2,912 AI students from 169 schools in 15 counties. Results indicate relatively high levels of alcohol and drug use amongst AI youth. Overall, we find the SDM as a promising framework fo…
Understanding Gang Joining from a Cross Classified Multi-Level Perspective
The present study seeks to address the gap in our understanding of the role of community- and school-level factors on individual-level gang joining. We assess our research question by bringing together data from a statewide survey of more than 35,000 school youth who were enrolled in more than 250 schools and resided in more than 300 communities. We first use multilevel modeling techniques to examine the independent relationship of community and …
Hispanics’ perceived procedural justice, legitimacy, and willingness to cooperate with the police
While some research has examined differences in perceptions of police among minorities and Whites, most of this research has focused on race rather than ethnicity. The dearth of research on ethnic minorities’ perceptions of police is striking given recent increases in the number of ethnic minorities in the U.S., particularly Hispanics. Some research suggests that Hispanics have more negative views of the police than Whites. The present study comp…
Latina and African‐American Girls in the Juvenile Justice System
This review focuses on Latina and African‐American girls in the juvenile justice system with a special emphasis on their mental health, substance abuse, and treatment needs. Like many young women in the juvenile justice system, Latina and African‐American girls often have histories of neglect, abuse, and trauma, which contribute to later mental health and substance abuse issues. Despite these histories, juvenile justice professionals sometimes re…
