Insane Clown Posse is a musical duo whose fans are known as Juggalos. Many homeless youths (HY) identify as Juggalos, most likely because the group's music embraces poverty and being an outsider in mainstream society. Juggalos are stereotyped as being violent, undereducated, poor, racist, crime-committing youth, and in 2011 the FBI officially labeled Juggalos as a gang. However, little is known about the intersection of HY and Juggalos. A convenience sample of Los Angeles-area, drop-in service-seeking HY completed a self-administered questionnaire (N = 495). In the sample, 15 % of HY identified as Juggalos. Juggalo-identifying youth were more likely to have experienced childhood trauma, including physical and sexual abuse and witnessing community violence. Multivariable models revealed that identifying as a Juggalo was associated with increased odds of recent methamphetamine use, ecstasy use, chronic marijuana use, and prescription drug misuse. Juggalos were also more likely to experience suicidal ideation, attempt suicide, recently engage in interpersonal violence, become injured during a fight, and have unprotected sex. In conclusion, Juggalos constitute a unique subpopulation of HY. Implications for Juggalo-specific trauma-informed services, rather than punitive, are discussed as well as the potential for future research regarding resiliency associated with Juggalo identification.
疯狂小丑帮是一个音乐二人组，其粉丝被称为“小丑帮成员”。许多无家可归的年轻人（HY）将自己视为小丑帮成员，很可能是因为该团体的音乐接纳贫穷以及在主流社会中作为局外人的身份。小丑帮成员被刻板地认为是暴力、未受过良好教育、贫穷、有种族主义倾向、实施犯罪的年轻人，并且在2011年联邦调查局正式将小丑帮成员列为一个帮派。然而，对于无家可归的年轻人与小丑帮成员的交集却知之甚少。一个来自洛杉矶地区、寻求服务的无家可归年轻人的便利样本完成了一份自填式问卷（N = 495）。在该样本中，15%的无家可归年轻人将自己视为小丑帮成员。认同自己是小丑帮成员的年轻人更有可能经历过童年创伤，包括身体和性虐待以及目睹社区暴力。多变量模型显示，认同自己是小丑帮成员与近期使用甲基苯丙胺、摇头丸、长期使用大麻以及滥用处方药的几率增加有关。小丑帮成员也更有可能有自杀念头、尝试自杀、近期实施人际暴力、在打架中受伤以及进行无保护性行为。总之，小丑帮成员构成了无家可归年轻人中的一个独特亚群体。文中讨论了针对小丑帮成员的创伤知情服务而非惩罚性服务的意义，以及未来关于与认同小丑帮成员身份相关的复原力研究的潜力。
