Abstract

This study explains variation in urban crime incidence as a function of a number of socio-economic variables, including income, education, and urban blight. Ordinary least squares regression analysis is applied to cross-section data from the 60 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, for 19 70. Various extensions of the basic model are presented, using log variables, a lagged endogenous variable, and indices derived from factor analysis of a large matrix of socio-economic variables.
