520 $a This study approached the etiology of crime and delinquency among Chinese youth in Chinatowns by focussing on individual as well as structural assimilation into American society. A self-reported survey on 417 Chinese students enrolled in several junior and senior high schools in New York Chinatown was conducted in May, 1982.
520 $a The data showed that the life organization and personality structure of Chinese students were synchronized with their assimilation into American culture--i.e. they view Chinese people less favorably and American people more favorably as they assimilate more into American culture.
520 $a The historical dimension of assimilation indicated that changes of immigration laws (either more restrictive or liberal) by the larger society resulted in institutional as well as cultural disorganizations in American Chinatowns which in turn contributed to crime and delinquency among them. The segmentary structure of Chinatown communities was described to illuminate the group conflict and gang violence that had plagued some American Chinatowns in the past.
520 $a Propositions derived from strain, cultural deviance and control theories were tested by the self-reported Chinatown data. The results showed that Chinatown data is more consistent with control theory which locates causes of crime and delinquence in particular individual characteristics and social anomie. Possible meanings of delinquency to Chinatown delinquents were discussed by referring the Ernest Becker's self-esteem theory of culture, and some theoretical and practical implications of the study were suggested and discussed.
