Income Inequality Race And Place Summary

“Income Inequality, Race, and Place” does a study on if lower incomes create higher crime rates. The study proves that a person’s income can affect that individual willing to commit a crime. If you live in poverty you are most likely going to execute a murder or a robbery. Also, the study show that is you were a stable home owner the crime rates were not high. People who were not a homeowner and consistently moved are more likely to commit a crime in a neighborhood. There are more minority races living in poverty than the majority race. This article was conducted in 2007 using the census in 19 cities in 2000. The article helps me because the test was conducted in many cities. I do believe that more cities should be tested to receive more data.
