Reply to Winston and Peters' "On the presentation and interpretation of international homicide data...".
The rationale not previously given for handling a data entry for the USA in a prior paper is carefully described, which makes clear the criticism leveled is not appropriate. Further, brief murder data were presented to illustrate "Brimelow's theory of emotional conditioning," which suggests a strong taboo against consideration of any genetic contribution to differences among races.
