“…These measures in the NESARC-III have been used to examine a variety of deleterious health behaviors and victimization experiences such as drug use, suicide ideation, and intimate partner violence (IPV) (Kimber et al, 2015; Perez-Rodriguez et al, 2014; Salas-Wright, Clark, et al, 2015). These data have also been used to examine offending among Hispanic adults, yet focused on nativity and other correlates, namely early childhood abuse and neglect (Powers et al, 2022). It is important to note that although these data have been used to examine acculturation, ethnic identity, and discrimination as it relates to other outcomes, as well as used to examine offending, they have not been used to examine the relationship between these key concepts and offending (Powers et al, 2022; Salas-Wright, Clark, et al, 2015; Vaughn et al, 2014; Woo et al, 2019).…”

Although racial and ethnic differences in offending are well-established, the processes associated with those relationships for U.S. Hispanic persons are less known. Using a nationally representative sample of U.S. Hispanic adults, the current study contributes to the literature by focusing on three factors thought to be particularly salient for understanding offending among U.S. Hispanic persons: acculturation, ethnic identity, and discrimination. We examine the association of each of these with offending, as well as the potential interactions between them. We found that acculturation and discrimination were positively associated with violent and nonviolent offending and ethnic identity was associated with nonviolent offending. For nonviolent offending, there was a positive interaction between acculturation and discrimination, such that experiences of discrimination intensified the relationship between acculturation and nonviolent offending. Findings are discussed in relation to both individual and contextual factors that are associated with health and behavioral outcomes, including offending, for U.S. Hispanic persons.
