Joanna Shepherd of Clemson U. has a study which finds that violent crime peaks at maximum diversity on the county statistics, corresponding to 50/50 majority/minority.
ReplyDeleteThis result is close to that of Griffe du Lion, who finds a peak a little over 50%. Both are searchable on the internet.
