Abstract

["Sociological Forum, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 1114-1134, December 2020. ", "\nAlthough there has been a growing literature on the effects of culture on the cross‐national variation of homicide, this literature remains limited in the operationalization of national culture as well as in the modeling of the cultural effects. Adopting a multidimensional measure of national culture developed in the World Values Survey, this study examines the effects of various aspects of national culture, as well as their interaction, on the cross‐national variation of homicide. The findings of this study provide evidence for the effect of national culture on homicide variation across countries while painting a more complex picture about the potential mechanisms of these effects.\n"]
