註釋... the primary objective of this project is to expand ecological research on race/ethnicity and violence by examining the structural sources of Hispanic violence -- both alone and compared to whites and blacks. Three key questions about the relationship between race/ethnicity, social structure, and violence are addressed. First, this project tests the racial invariance hypothesis, which argues that the structured sources of violence are similar across race/ethnicity. Specifically, I examine whether the structured predictors of violence and especially the effects of disadvantage on violence are the same for whites, blacks, and Hispanics, and also whether support for the racial invariance argument depends on how invariance is defined (Chapter 2). Second, moving beyond the effects of disadvantage, this project examines whether racial/ethnic isolation influences black and Hispanic violence and whether the effects of segregation on violence are similar/invariant across race/ethnicity (Chapter 3). Third, focusing specifically on Hispanics, I examine whether immigration influences Hispanic violence and whether immigration disorganizes or stabilizes Hispanic communities.
