    "These figures are not very surprising," said Laura Dugan, professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Maryland, College Park.

    "Both areas are disproportionately minority," Dugan said."It is well established that minorities are more affected by violent crime than non-minorities."

    The higher the concentration of these marginalized people, the greater chance of crime, which is occurring in Baltimore and in growing pockets in Prince George's, she said.

    Gentrification in the Washington, D.C.-area has crowded Prince George's County, Dugan said.

    People have been pushed out of the city and into the county where housing is cheaper compared to other metropolitan counties.There is now overcrowding in a high-poverty metro area, Dugan said.

    As services for women gave them an outlet for their anger and a way out of abusive relationships, the number of homicides committed by women fell, according to Laura Dugan, assistant professor of criminology at the University of Maryland.But the number of female victims remained high, she said, because men got back at their newly liberated spouses."We call that the retaliation effect," Dugan said.

    But advocates for battered men bristle at the assumption that most male homicide victims are simply abusers killed in self-defense.
