A recent study of the relationship between income inequality (measured by the GINI and median income) and homicide in the United States (between State variation in homicide) and Canada (between Province variation in homicide) found: Question 5 options: higher rates of income inequality as measured by the Gini are related to higher homicide rates income inequality is related to homicide rates in the US but not in Canada due to the fact that the income inequality in Canada is negligible median household income is not related to homicide lower rates of income inequality as measured by the Gini are related to higher homicide rates income inequality is not related to homocide rates
