Koski, Douglas D.
Journal of Correctional Education, v47 n4 p182-89 Dec 1996
Regression analysis of 40 years of data on median income, education, divorce rate, and female-headed households was conducted to determine their influence on crime rates, especially homicide. Educational attainment had a significant bearing on criminality. Single parenting was less significant than low income. (SK)
