Popis:	Lynch mob violence was common in the American South between 1880 and 1930 and has been extensively studied by social scientists. Some have asserted that the victims of lynchings were more likely to be strangers in their communities because of their weak ties to the local social structure. In this article, the authors examined critically the evidence offered to support that hypothesis and found it wanting. Further, using data from lynchings in Georgia, the authors present evidence demonstrating that the majority of victims of lynchings were neither strangers nor marginalized members of their communities.
