That study is pretty ridiculous. You don't need 20 pages of calculations to prove a correlation like this. You'll find that murder rates in the USA are linked to two factors:
1) Proximity to the Mexican border and the drug war coming from there; and
2) Percentage of the population that has been ghettoized. |
Umm, it's not based simply on the murder rates, but on the relative increases in murder rates in states with SYG laws and states without SYG laws.
