Structural covarariates of U.S. county homicide rates: Incorporating spatial effects

County-level data for the decennial years in the 1960 to 1990 time period are used to reexamine the impact of conventional structural covariates on homicide rates and explicitly model spatial effects. The results show that homicide is strongly clustered in space and that this clustering cannot be co...

Zusammenfassung:County-level data for the decennial years in the 1960 to 1990 time period are used to reexamine the impact of conventional structural covariates on homicide rates and explicitly model spatial effects. The results show that homicide is strongly clustered in space and that this clustering cannot be completely explained by common measures of the structural similarity of neighboring counties.
