TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - The colonial model, subcultural theory, and intragroup violence JO - Journal of criminal justice A1 - Austin, Roy L. SP - 93 EP - 104 VL - 11 IS - 2 N2 - Frantz Fanon's explanation of exceptionally high rates of intragroup violence among natives of European colonies has been virtually neglected by social scientists seeking to understand violence. This study discusses important similarities between Fanon's colonial model and subcultural theory, including Wolfgang and Ferracuti's subculture of violence thesis. More importantly, it is shown that decolonization in the Caribbean island of St. Vincent is accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of intragroup violence as the colonial model suggests.
