N2  - Research on Hispanic crime and victimization in the United States has lagged behind the demographic changes of the last four decades. Very little is known about the etiology of Hispanic offending and few studies have examined the correlation between crime and victimization within this group. This study attempts to remedy this gap in the literature by examining the factors associated with both crime and victimization among a homogenous sample of Hispanic adolescents. Negative binomial and logistic regression are utilized to assess the relationship between generational status, self-control, delinquent peers, parental supervision, and demographic variables on the incidence and frequency of delinquency and victimization. Results suggest that generational status, delinquent peers, gender, and age are the most consistent predictors of delinquency and victimization for Hispanic youth.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
