Top income shares and crime
Brzezinski, Michal
Top income shares and crime created by Michał Brzeziński - Applied economics letters Volume 20, number 3 .
This article estimates the relationship between income inequality approximated by the top 10% and 1% income shares derived from income tax return data and nine crime categories for the US states between 1979 and 2003. We fail to find a positive relationship between inequality and crime, except for the case of the top 10% share and motor vehicle theft.
