Abstract

Many Israeli Arabs are facing severe culture-conflicts as a consequence of two social processes. First, there is the increasing frequency of contact with Jews, and second, there is the process of rapid modernization which involves secularization, disorganization of traditional social structures and changing norms. In this study the criminality of rural Arabs in Israel is analyzed in terms of culture-conflict. Interviews with prisoners and non-prisoners supply the data and the statistical analyses confirm the main hypotheses.
