Radelet, Contemporary Sociology[The authors] data and superior analyses make their conclusions more compelling than earlier studies with like or contrary results. Furthermore, the data set seems rich enough to yield similarly enlightening findings for other researchers. -Roy L. Austin, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social ScienceSome highly significant data [including] whether large cities have higher homicide rates than smaller cities; the deterrent effect of the death penalty on homicide rates; the etiology of urban violence. -ChoiceAn amazing analysis of a most wonderful series of data.
