Child Homicide and the Economic Stress Hypothesis

A Research Note

A recurrent theme in previous macro-level research on child homicide has been that causes for the phenomenon are to be found in economic stresses that affect women and their status. The authors test this idea through a logistic regression analysis of social and economic data from Texas counties for the mid-1980s. Little support is found for the economic stress hypothesis. Several possible reasons for this finding are discussed.
