Abstract
This research brings new evidence to bear on the question of whether a subculture of violence exists in the southern United States. Specifically, we use 1991 homicide data from the FBI to determine that (a) Southerners are more likely than people in other regions to murder in argumentative situations and (b) Southerners are more likely than non-Southerners to kill people they know. We contend that these findings are consistent with the subculture of violence thesis.
