Abstract
This aggressive type of behavior, peculiar to Negroes, involves cumulative insults between victim and gang to set off and justify violence as a form of entertainment. Participants of the game considered it antisocial and denied responsibility for starting it. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
