Brewer, Victoria E.; Smith, M. Dwayne
Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, v32 n2 p175-90 May 1995
Explores the possibility that female victimization rates are influenced by conditions of sex-based inequality. No single inequality variable was found to be a statistically significant predictor of female homicide rates when controlling for social structural effects. Found little support for gender inequality/female homicide connection. (JBJ)
