Abstract:
|
Prior analyses suggest that income inequality is a major determinant of the homicide rate across nations. The current cross-national analysis, based on a sample of 63 nations, proposes to isolate the effects of income inequality and poverty on the homicide rate. The evidence indicates that income inequality is unrelated to the homicide rate, once poverty is adequately measured. Poverty is positively associated with the homicide rate. There is no evidence of quadratic or interactive effects of either income inequality or poverty. The analysis also suggests that the negative relationship between social welfare and the homicide rate observed in previous studies is attributable to poverty reduction, not income inequality reduction. Interesting effects of control variables are also observed: nations with fewer men than women, with greater human rights violations by the state, and with greater socio-political freedom tend to have higher homicide rates. |
