The sample was partially derived from Social Networking Sites (SNS) including MySpace and Facebook. The primary expectation was that pro-violent attitudes would vary depending on level of assimilation. Bratina expected a significant positive relationship between highly assimilated Latinos and pro-violent attitudes. By-and-large, endorsement of violence was low among this overwhelmingly assimilated group; however, multivariate analyses revealed a different picture.Criminal Justice: Recent ScholarshipAcculturationUnited StatesViolenceUnited StatesHispanic AmericansAttitudesAcculturationViolenceHispanic AmericansAttitudes.305.868/073Bratina Michele P.1972-1637797MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822581603321Acculturation and attitudes toward violence among Latinos3979816UNINA
