Abstract
Description
As requested, we will summarize the major social science research findings on the behavioral effects or consequences of community crises. However, to talk intelligently about the consequences of “something”, it is first necessary to indicate what the referent of the “something” is. In this particular case therefore we need to specify what could be meant by the term “community crises.” (The term “disaster”, for example, has been used in different ways by the earlier speakers).
