The current study investigates how ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) and neighborhood factors relate to deviance among Latine youth. The study also examines ERS as a potential moderator between neighborhood and deviance. The study utilizes data from Latine adolescents in the Families, Adolescents, and Neighborhoods in Context (Fan-C) study. Analyses find that collective efficacy was significantly associated with increased deviant behavior. This relation was significantly stronger when levels of egalitarianism were low or average.
