Little is known about the offending behavior and recidivism factors of Latinos by nativity (U.S. born, foreign-born). The present study focused on Latinos in community corrections (n = 201) in Miami, Florida, and examined differences in criminal activity, drug use, and mental health by nativity. Data were collected utilizing convenience sampling between June 2014 and December 2015. The research question was: what are the offending, drug use, and mental health histories of Latinos involved in community corrections? Participants were mostly male (n = 120; 59.7%), White (n = 105; 52.2%), and Cuban (n = 97; 48.3%). U.S. born community corrections clients (n = 141) were more likely to report more lifetime and recent criminal activity; and more likely to report lifetime and recent drug use behavior than foreign-born Latinos (n = 60). No differences were found in recent mental health. Correctional healthcare should tailor services such as substance abuse treatment differently toward U.S. born and foreign-born Latinos.
关于按出生地（美国出生、外国出生）划分的拉丁裔犯罪行为和累犯因素，人们了解甚少。本研究聚焦于佛罗里达州迈阿密接受社区矫正的拉丁裔（n = 201），并考察了按出生地划分的犯罪活动、吸毒情况和心理健康方面的差异。数据收集采用便利抽样法，时间跨度为2014年6月至2015年12月。研究问题是：参与社区矫正的拉丁裔的犯罪、吸毒和心理健康史是怎样的？参与者大多为男性（n = 120；59.7%）、白人（n = 105；52.2%）和古巴人（n = 97；48.3%）。与外国出生的拉丁裔（n = 60）相比，美国出生的社区矫正对象（n = 141）更有可能报告更多的终身和近期犯罪活动；也更有可能报告终身和近期的吸毒行为。在近期心理健康方面未发现差异。惩教医疗保健应针对美国出生和外国出生的拉丁裔，对诸如药物滥用治疗等服务进行不同的调整。
