      Proexorcist forces such as the military and those with vested interests in Indian lands and resources fought unsuccessfully to make a distinction between acculturated and nonacculturated Indians, whereby only the latter would enjoy the rights guaranteed to Indians in the Constitution.
    • 2006, Ramiro Martinez, Jr., Abel Valenzuela, Jr., Immigration and Crime: Ethnicity, Race, and Violence, page 47:
      The results, displayed in figure 3.3, show that increasing acculturation is associated with significantly higher probabilities of many types of violence: Youth who live in fully acculturated households are significantly mroe likely to hit someone, throw objects at someone, and be in a gang fight than those from nonacculturated households; while youth from partially acculturated households are significantly more likely to hit someone and be in a gang fight than those from nonacculturated households.
