Why does the south have a higher average homicide rate than the north?


The national average is 5.7, generally speaking the homicide rate is lower in the north than the south. I believe it is because the south is poorer, so the education won't be as good, and the crime rate will be higher. Also the south's gun laws are too lenient.

There is a theory that the warmer weather can be more conducive to criminality.

The theory is:

Warm weather=more people outside in close proximity=more opportunity for crime

Not sure if it holds water, but it's a thought and does make sense.

Have you ever been to the South? Well there ya go. No really, it's caused by NASCAR.
