The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of different factors on crime by estimating structural parameters of a simple model of the supply function of the murder rate in American states in 2009. Results suggest that demographic variables play an important role in explaining this phenomenon, as well as the probability of execution given murder and inequality with its nonmonotonic influence. In the first section research is embedded in a proper context. Second section gives a descreption of the research framework. Third section presents the results of the estimation. Fourth section presents the discussion of the estimates and the final fifth section closes the article with concluding remarks.
