客观化
一项对佐治亚州亚特兰大222起国内凶杀案的研究发现，当黑人和白人人口不分层时，黑人人口发生凶杀的相对风险为5.8(95%可信区间[CI]，4.3至8.0)；当黑人和白人人口按家庭拥挤程度分层时，黑人人口发生凶杀的相对风险不再显著增加(相对风险[RR]，1.2；95%CI，0.7至2.0)。目前的研究试图在路易斯安那州新奥尔良复制或不复制这些发现。
方法
对1979年、1982年、1985年和1986年在奥尔良教区发生的349起针对居民的家庭内杀人案进行了回顾研究。
主要结果衡量标准
在新奥尔良的黑人和白人人口中，当他们按家庭拥挤率分层时，杀人的相对风险。
结果
当新奥尔良的黑人和白人人口不分层时，黑人人口发生家族性杀人案的相对风险为6.3(95%CI，4.3至9.5)。当黑人和白人人口按家庭拥挤程度分层时，黑人人口中发生凶杀的相对风险不再显著增加(RR，1.2；95%CI，0.4至2.9)。
结论
亚特兰大凶杀案的研究结果在目前的新奥尔良凶杀案研究中得到了重复。在这两个城市，黑人和白人家庭凶杀率的六倍差异完全是由黑人和白人人口之间的社会经济地位差异造成的。不存在需要文化解释的显著残余差异。
OBJECTIVE
A study of 222 intraracial domestic homicides in Atlanta, Ga, found that when black and white populations were unstratified, the relative risk of homicide in black populations was 5.8 (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.3 to 8.0); when black and white populations were stratified by rates of household crowding, the relative risk of homicide in black populations was no longer significantly elevated (relative risk [RR], 1.2; 95% CI, 0.7 to 2.0). The current study sought to replicate, or not replicate, these findings in New Orleans, La.
METHODS
Retrospective study of 349 intraracial domestic homicides perpetrated against residents of Orleans Parish in 1979, 1982, 1985, and 1986.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE
Relative risk of homicide in the black and white populations of New Orleans when they are stratified by rates of household crowding.
RESULTS
When black and white populations of New Orleans were unstratified, the relative risk of intraracial domestic homicide in black populations was 6.3 (95% CI, 4.3 to 9.5). When black and white populations were stratified by rates of household crowding, the relative risk of homicide in black populations was no longer significantly elevated (RR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.4 to 2.9).
CONCLUSION
The findings of the Atlanta homicide study are replicated in the current study of homicide in New Orleans. In both cities, sixfold differences in black and white rates of intraracial domestic homicide are entirely accounted for by differences in socioeconomic status between the respective black and white populations. There are no significant residual differences requiring cultural explanations.
