8. Huo et al., supra note 10, at 40-45, examined the basis of deference to the decisions made by authorities in conflict situations. Smith & Tyler, supra note 11, at 171-200, and Huo, supra note 9, at 336-48, extend this basic argument to interactions between minority group members and legal authorities. In all cases the finding is the same.
