The Netherlands is taken as an example, although research from other countries (such as the US and Sweden) is also taken into consideration. The second part considers the theoretical links between integration and criminal behaviour. The author assumes that the fundamental causal processes that lead to the development of criminality and other negative behaviour are independent of country of origin, ethnic group or the country of residence. Furthermore, there are also differences in the criminality of allochtonous youth within etnic groups. These are similarly assumed to be linked to differences in commitment to social institutions such as family and school and to differences in accepting specific Western norms and values.  vV.9,n.1dMai.-Jun. 2001pp.5-9tEuropean Journal on Criminal Policy and ResearchcLondon  aCOMPORTAMENTO ANTI-SOCIAL  aMINORIAS ÉTNICAS  aCONTROLO SOCIAL  aJUNGER-TASbJosine  jP.275
