Crime impacts both the immediate victims and has indirect effects on the community. This study examined associations between daily neighborhood crime and actigraphy-assessed sleep outcomes using multilevel modeling. Data were from a longitudinal (14-day) study of 288 adolescents (M = 15.27; 70.8% girls, 29.2% boys; 38.9% Asian, 36.8% Hispanic or Latinx, 20.5% Black or African American) in the New York City area in 2014. Residential addresses were geocoded to examine police-recorded crime. Daily neighborhood violent crime was associated with nightly sleep efficiency, but not duration, bedtime, or wake time. Non-violent crime was not associated with any sleep outcomes. This suggests that neighborhood violent crimes are detrimental to the quality, but not quantity or timing, of sleep that adolescents receive that evening.
犯罪不仅会对直接受害者造成影响,还会对社区产生间接影响。本研究使用多层次模型检验了每日邻里犯罪与通过活动记录仪评估的睡眠结果之间的关联。数据来自2014年在纽约市地区对288名青少年进行的一项纵向(14天)研究(平均年龄M = 15.27岁;70.8%为女孩,29.2%为男孩;38.9%为亚裔,36.8%为西班牙裔或拉丁裔,20.5%为黑人或非裔美国人)。通过对居住地址进行地理编码来研究警方记录的犯罪情况。每日邻里暴力犯罪与夜间睡眠效率相关,但与睡眠时间、就寝时间或起床时间无关。非暴力犯罪与任何睡眠结果均无关联。这表明邻里暴力犯罪会损害青少年当晚所获得睡眠的质量,但不会影响睡眠的时长或时间安排。
