摘要:
Use of county data from Vital Statistics permits a more adequate test of the effect of rurality on the homicide rate than found in previous literature. With controls for other correlates of homicide, regression findings show a strong positive effect of rurality in counties of the northeastern United States. A suggested interpretation is that rurality reduces the probability of community integration in a modern society.
