Abstract

"This research illustrates the historical persistence of homicide in the South and presents a regionalization of U.S. states based on their quinquennial homicide profiles since 1935. Several social indicators are plotted against trends in lethal violence for the homicide regions. The analysis suggests a pattern of rates declining away from a core region in Alabama and Georgia, and some convergence between the high rates of the South and the increasing rates of other regions."

摘要

这项研究揭示了南方杀人犯罪率长期以来的情况，并根据自1935年以来每五年的杀人犯罪概况对美国各州进行了区域划分。针对杀人犯罪区域，绘制了若干社会指标与致命暴力趋势的对比图。分析表明，杀人犯罪率呈现出从阿拉巴马州和佐治亚州的核心区域向外递减的模式，而且南方的高犯罪率与其他地区不断上升的犯罪率之间存在一定趋同。
