摘要

关于公民向警方通报暴力犯罪的程度，拉丁裔显然没有参与研究。本文通过对中西部最大的墨西哥社区小村庄的墨西哥裔美国青年的案例研究，为填补这一知识空白迈出了几小步。我们问：为什么一些拉丁裔青年比其他人更多地向警方通报暴力犯罪？使用一组独特的社区青年调查数据（N=292），我们发现（1）事实上，样本中的大多数青年都会向警方通报暴力犯罪；（2）逻辑回归模型揭示了与帮派成员的社会关系、过去与警察的负面遭遇和移民身份的重要性，它们是向警方通报犯罪意愿的重要相关因素。最后，我们讨论了对拉丁裔警察通知研究和改善拉丁裔社区-警察关系的政策努力的影响。

Why Latino Youth (Don’t) Call Police

Latinos have been remarkably absent from research on the degree to which citizens notify police about violent crimes. This article takes a few small steps toward filling this knowledge gap through a case study of Mexican American youth in Little Village, the largest Mexican neighborhood in the Midwest. We ask: Why do some Latino youth notify police about violent crimes more than others? Using a unique survey data set of neighborhood youth (N = 292), we find that (1) the majority of youth in the sample do, in fact, notify police about violent crimes and (2) logistic regression models reveal the importance of social ties with gang members, negative past encounters with police, and immigration status as significant correlates of willingness to notify police about violent crimes. We conclude by discussing implications for research on Latino police notification and policy efforts to improve Latino community–police relations.
