“…Four of these scales are short versions of well known existing scales: everyday discrimination,27 perceived procedural justice, non-commitment to the law28 29 and alienation 30. The two remaining scales were developed for this study to capture the two core concepts of the framework—everyday social resistance and not acting white.…”

“…Legal cynicism has also been linked to the use of extralegal violence to support political and ideological goals (Hagan, Kaiser, and Hanson 2016;Rattner and Yagil 2004). Hagan et al (2016) explored the role of legal cynicism in justifying the use of violent attacks against state and U.S./ coalition forces in post-invasion Iraq.…”

Objectives: This study examines the influence of collective strain on support for violent extremism among an ethnically diverse sample of Swiss adolescents. This study explores two claims derived from general strain theory:(1) Exposure to collective strain is associated with higher support for violent extremism and (2) the effect of collective strain is conditional on perceptions of moral and legal constraints. Methods: This study uses data from two waves of the Zurich Project on the Social Development of Children and Youth. We use ordinary least squares procedures to regress violent extremist attitudes at age 17 on strain, moral and legal constraints, and control variables measured at ages 15 to 17. Conditional effects were examined using an interaction term for collective strain and moral neutralization and legal cynicism, respectively. Results: The results show that collective strain does not have a direct effect on violent extremist attitudes

“…Studies suggest that alienation and social exclusion among non-dominant minority groups may, in turn, lead to reduced commitment to and compliance with the law, and increase engagement in delinquent and risky behaviours (Marczynski et al 1999;Palosuo 2000;Rattner and Yagil 2004;Williams et al 2010). That is, in societies marked by ethnic or other types of segregation, members of non-dominant minority groups will perceive greater levels of injustice than members of other groups.…”

“…That is, in societies marked by ethnic or other types of segregation, members of non-dominant minority groups will perceive greater levels of injustice than members of other groups. They may therefore tend to see the legal culture of the majority as less than legitimate, and regard compliance with the law as less of a social obligation (Rattner and Yagil 2004). Buckler and Unnever (2008), for example, suggested that perceived injustice is significantly more common among African Americans and Hispanics than among white Americans.…”

Non-dominant minorities, compared with majority groups, often have greater engagement in risky and delinquent behaviours. This study develops an innovative theoretical model for understanding risky/delinquent behaviour among non-dominant groups based on the social resistance framework, which suggests that power relations within society bring non-dominant minorities to actively engage in various forms of everyday resistance that can include delinquent behaviours. We tested this model on traffic violations, surveying 1,060 non-dominant and majority drivers in Israel. Structural equation models suggest that different mechanisms underlie delinquent behaviours in the two groups: social resistance plays a direct role in traffic violations among non-dominants, while, for the majority, procedural justice and non-commitment to the law have a stronger impact. Implications for understanding delinquent and risky behaviour and as an extension of the wellknown procedural justice model are discussed.
