Beschreibung
In this collection of essays emanating from the Southern Ute Indian Community Safety Survey (SUICSS), the theoretical constructs of Native American Indian cultural values (CV) are compared with those of collective efficacy (CE); an idea proposed by Sampson, R.J., Raudenbush, S.W., and Earls F. in their study The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, as reported in SCIENCE (Aug. 15, 1997), Neighborhoods and Violent Crime: A Multi-Level Study of Collective Efficacy, 277, 919-924. It was found this sub-cultural groups cultural values are more robust predictors of a variety of social phenomena than were the collective efficacy measures.
