The Social Causes of American Indian Homicide as Revealed by the Life Experiences of Thirty Offenders.
Bachman, Ronet
American Indian Quarterly, v15 n4 p469-92 Fall 1991
Interviews with 30 Indian homicide offenders revealed common life-history elements: poverty, early separation from family, environment of social disorganization, culture conflict, values derived from a subculture of violence, and alcohol and drug abuse. These are related to antecedents in internal colonialism suffered by American Indians. Contains 58 references. (SV)
