Commentary: Country of Origin and Socioeconomic Level as Changing Predictors of Juvenile Delinquency.

Journal of Ethnic Studies, v16 n2 p137-42 Sum 1988

A weak relationship was found between country of origin and juvenile crime, but over time, crime is more closely related to socioeconomic status. (VM)
