Abstract: Social capital, collective efficacy, social cohesion, can be defined in various ways and may operate in more or less broad contexts. In general, the social capital perspective has proved useful in helping understand antisocial behavior in many countries, because empirical studies showed that higher levels of social bonds prevent different crimes, in particular homicide and other violent crimes.
