2001, Jonathan W. Warren, Racial Revolutions: Antiracism and Indian Resurgence in BrazilThe results, displayed in figure 3.3, show that increasing acculturation is associated with significantly higher probabilities of many types of violence: Youth who live in fully acculturated households are significantly mroe likely to hit someone, throw objects at someone, and be in a gang fight than those from nonacculturated households; while youth from partially acculturated households are significantly more likely to hit someone and be in a gang fight than those from nonacculturated households.
