Ethnic enclaves and ethnoburbs: Are there differences in associations with juvenile offense type among Asian
1Alcohol Research Group, Public Health Institute, Emeryville, CA.
Abstract:
Little is known about the neighborhood context of offending for Asian American youth. The current study differentiates between coethnic neighborhood types and considers if residence in ethnoburbs-a more recently conceptualized coethnic neighborhood-is associated with more serious arrests (for substance, property, weapon, or violent offenses). Asian youth in ethnic enclaves had lower odds of a violence arrest relative to youth in non-coethnic neighborhoods. Youth in ethnoburbs had greater odds of a weapons arrest, but this association is attenuated after adjusting for individual-level covariates. Implications for future research include exploring mechanisms for place-based targeted intervention strategies.
