Abstract
The objective of this study is to reassess the determinants of crime rates using panel data on 48 U.S. states from 1982-2003. These factors are income inequality, per capital gross state product, the proportion of the population with at least a collage degree, per capita expenditure on police protection and unemployment rate. The results indicated that income inequality index had positive and statistically significant impacts on violent crime rate while per capita expenditure on police protection had negative and statistically significant impacts on violent crime rate. © 2012 EuroJournals Publishing, Inc.
