摘　　要：The focus of this study is the critical analysis of data related to Hispanic males and criminality, Factors, such as marital status, income level, age, and police contact, are measureable entities that are at the core of the statistical ,analysis, A cross-disciplinary approach provides a cultural context for the statistical world of numbers, The socially conflicting terms of masculinity and maleness will lead to a discussion of macho behavior and criminaliW, Macho behavior, often interpreted as aggressive, may arouse police suspicion, In this case, the police will stop Hispanic males because of their behavior, not necessarily because they committed a crime, This study will show that the cycle of poverty prevents Hispanic males of low-income families from contacting with the police, whereas uneducated Hispanic males must confirm their masculinity in a criminal behavior, CriminaliW, often associated with violence as machismo, is the social over compensation for a male inferiority complex that finds its origin in the Spanish conquest of South America,
