Abstract: The effects of increasing homicide rates on life expectancy are well documented but little research has focused on its impact on family dynamics and family structure. To begin filling this gap in the literature, we pool census data from 1990, 2000, and 2010 with homicide rates at municipal level to investigate the relationship between increasing homicide rates and changing family structure, using statistical techniques. Specifically, we focus on its possible impact on living arrangements of children living in localities with different levels of homicide rates. Our results shed some light on the pervasive effects of criminal violence on families and children’s well-being.
