“…This study draws on the rather large and growing body of research on economic deprivation and marginalization as a predictor of homicide, and more recently the trends in the gender ratio in violent victimization over time (Heimer, 2000;LaFree & Hunnicutt, 2006;Lauritsen & Heimer, 2008;Rosenfeld, 2000). By including these considerations, it is important to draw upon strain and feminist based theoretical arguments concerning the link between economic deprivation/ marginalization and violence.…”

“…14. It should be noted that although overall US homicide rates began falling steadily post-1993, rates for most adult groups (e.g., ages 25+) have fallen continuously since reaching a contemporary peak in 1980 (for detail on these trends and possible explanations, see Rosenfeld 2000). 15.…”

Ample speculation and some evidence suggests that the decline in homicide rates since the early 1990s was partially attributable to declining levels of drug market activity. This analysis explores that explanation, along with an alternative: the strength of the drug market-lethal violence relationship has weakened over time. We outline several conceptual reasons to expect period-specific differences in the drug market-homicide relationship. These include the aging of market participants, shifts in the normative and transactional climate of markets, and changes in structural factors affecting the magnitude of the relationship between drug market indicators and homicide rates (such as socioeconomic disadvantage). These arguments are evaluated for a sample of large US cities. The results generally show a pattern of attenuation in the drug markethomicide relationship and lead us to conclude that part of the homicide decline is likely due to a drop in the amount of drug market activity, some of it is attributable to the aging of drug market participants, and some appears to be due to unmeasured factors which may have created a "kinder and gentler" drug market.

“…Second, research on the deterrent and incapacitation effects of imprisonment indicate that increased imprisonment reduces crime rates (Levitt 1996;Rosenfeld 2000). The dependence of crime rates on imprisonment may be a significant source of bias in the 1990s as crime fell while incarceration rates increased.…”
