In before USN says it's just about black people
A classic 1993 study by the social psychologist Richard Nisbett, of the University of Michigan, found that homicide rates in small predominantly white cities were three times higher in the South than in New England. Nisbett and a colleague, Andrew Reaves, went on to show that southern rural counties had white homicide rates more than four times those of counties in New England, Middle Atlantic, and Midwestern states.HokieDan95 wrote:http://www.tufts.edu/alumni/magazine/fa ... -arms.html

Re: In before USN says it's just about black people
That's a good counter arg. I think it is say bit much to suggest that cultural norms from way back when still affect attitudes today, but I would argue that the cultural differences identified do have some basis in fact. A guy killing an unarmed prowler in Texas is viewed differently than it would be in Vermont.USN_Hokie wrote:ip_law-hokie wrote:A classic 1993 study by the social psychologist Richard Nisbett, of the University of Michigan, found that homicide rates in small predominantly white cities were three times higher in the South than in New England.
