What are the main arguments made by the authors AND how does this paper shed light on this topic?

What factors did researchers find they may have joined impacts on violent crimes other than economic inequality?

The authors discussed Esteban and Ray’s arguments on inequality measures (pages 19-21). What are the arguments and how do the arguments contribute to the research’s procedure? (you may leave out those statistics that you find difficult to understand if you have not taken the Research Methods course.  You should pay attention to what the arguments in the context the authors stressed.)

What two theories (learned from the textbook ONLY) do you think can best explain the research findings presented in the research?  How those concepts and terms introduced in the selected two theories should  be carefully  applied in  the explanations of the criminal acts. (Please make sure you read the whole paper before answering this question.)

What sociological terms or perspectives are best reflected from the explanations of those two theories? (Please think of at least two of them and elaborate your explanations.)

Is there any weakness in the application of each selected theory?

Is there anything that you would comment or revise those theories, so they can better explain the presented research findings?
