A researcher analyzes homicide patterns for major cities in the United States and finds that, in general, southern cities (e.g., Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham) have higher murder rates than northern cities (e.g., New York, Omaha, Seattle). This pattern holds true, even when she controls for population differences (so it is not due to more people living in northern cities). Based on this data, she develops a theory that a greater “culture of violence” in the south produces higher murder rates. In this case what type of logic has she used?
