Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Prior sex-disaggregated macrolevel research has found that, when substantive gender differences in ecological predictors are identified, these social forces typically have stronger effects on male rates of crime and violence compared to female rates. However, serious crime and violence are heavily male-dominated forms of aggression, causing us to question whether homicide is the most relevant violent outcome to explore female responses to ecological strain. Suicide, though still dominated by men, is far more gender balanced than homicide. Do social disorganization variables (e.g., family structure, economic deprivation) that predict homicide also predict variation in female and male suicide rates? On the basis that females tend to internalize their responses to stress, rather than externalize like men, do social disorganization variables predict female suicide rates better than female homicide rates? And, do these ecological factors have a stronger effect on female than male suicide patterns? We use county-level sex-disaggregated suicide and homicide counts as reported in the National Vital Statistics mortality files and seemingly unrelated Poisson regression techniques to test for differences in the ability of social disorganization factors to predict female and male violence rates.
