Abstract
This papeer considers family stability as a problem in social control. In certain German communities overwhelming religious majorities or bare majorities increased family stability, regardless of whether the majority was Catholic or Protestant. In contrast, refugee majority-minority structures played no role. Yet refugees in Catholic areas had higher rates of breakup than refugees in Protestant areas. These findings suggest that majority-minority structures are pertinent only for positive reference groups and external modes of control operate best in closed structures, while internal modes of control operate best in open structures.
