Abstract

A growing body of literature has found that exposure to child maltreatment and other forms of family dysfunction, often conceptualized as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), are associated with delinquent and criminal behavior. Recent research has indicated that the effects of ACEs on offending may differ not only by offense type but also by sex and race/ethnicity. However, no study to-date has investigated the effects of ACEs on violent-specific recidivism, nor how these effects differ by sex- and racial/ethnic-specific subgroups. The current study seeks to address this gap by examining a large, diverse sample of serious delinquents institutionalized in a large southern state. The results indicated that while ACEs increased the likelihood of being rearrested for any violent felony, the effects were particularly strong for domestic violence and sexual offenses among white females and minority males. A discussion of these findings are presented, along with the limitations of the study.

不良童年经历对暴力累犯的影响是特定的吗?

越来越多的文献发现，遭受虐待儿童和其他形式的家庭功能障碍，通常被概念化为不良童年经历（ACE），与犯罪和犯罪行为有关。最近的研究表明，ACE对犯罪的影响可能不仅因犯罪类型而异，还因性别和种族/民族而异。然而，迄今为止，没有任何研究调查ACE对特定暴力累犯的影响，也没有研究这些影响如何因性别和种族/民族的特定亚组而不同。目前的研究试图通过调查南部一个大州收容的大量、多样化的严重罪犯样本来解决这一差距。结果表明，虽然ACE增加了因任何暴力重罪而被重新逮捕的可能性，但对白人女性和少数族裔男性的家庭暴力和性犯罪的影响尤其强烈。对这些发现以及研究的局限性进行了讨论。
