Recently, Phillips [Am Soc Re,, 1983; 48:560-568] reported that the homicide rate increases on the third day after heavyweight championship prize fights. The present paper reports a reanalysis of Phillips's data using non sophisticated statistical techniques and examining several theoretically important variables not discussed by Phillips or his critics. Using a conservative analysis strategy, our results suggest that the increases in homicides reported by Phillips were not a methodological artifact as suggested by Baron and Reiss [Am Soc Rev 1985; 50:347-363,372-3761]. The homicide increase only occur on the first weekend or holiday after prize fights that receive the greatest publicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
