Using Data

Relative deprivation and absolute deprivation both have effects on crime. Although these two concepts are often treated as separate, some scholarship has suggested that the two may be complementary. The current study assesses whether the effects of relative and absolute deprivation interact statistically in their effect on violent crime by testing an interaction effect between income inequality and disadvantage. Using data from U.S. counties, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) regression models show that there is a significant interaction between relative and absolute deprivation predicting violent crime rates. The plot of this interaction shows that when absolute deprivation is high, there is less violence in high inequality counties than in counties with medium levels of inequality. The implication of this finding is discussed.

Racial Ethnic

Blau and Blau's (1982) suggestion that racial/ethnic economic inequality is an important source of violent crime has generated several empirical investigations during the last decade, but their findings have been inconclusive. In this study, we argue that their proposition should be tested for economically disadvantaged groups rather than for the total populations of political units. Consistent with recent reformulations of the frustration-aggression hypothesis, we predict that racial inequality has a stronger effect on nonfelony than felony homicide rates. Testing this idea for black homicide rates in SMS As, we indeed find that racial income inequality has a positive, significant influence on nonfelony homicides only. We conclude by recommending that future attempts at specifying the Blaus' model should focus on the perceptual dimension of the theory.
