2. This higher crime rate of the native born of foreign stock has been generally attributed to the fact that the cultural guides of their parents' social heritage have been swept from them in their strange new turbulent environment and those of the new cultural milieu have not yet been instilled in them. They have been pictured as living apart from both the cultural worlds of their parents and of America. Disoriented by language differences, institutional disparities, and other fundamental cultural contradictions, the native born of foreign parentage, it is claimed, have drifted into anti-social conduct, into delinquency and eventually crime.' The purpose of this paper is to analyze somewhat critically this general thesis. To do so, certain widely accepted remarks concerning urban and rural crime rates are presented as a basis for discussion
