Poverty, poor education and the amount racism blacks face in The US other first world nations show that to be true.
The combination of poverty,poor education and the discrimination blacks face in this country certainly leads to crime.
United States Murders Per Day The average number of people murdered per day is 44.7 (other sources use +16 per day) The highest number of people murdered per day is 90 The lowest number of people murdered per day is 9 Seriously, is this thread going to talk about each murder in the United States per day or you're only going to talk about the murders in your area of residence...the ones that make the news on your local news channels ??? So far, the above does not seem to happen because I would have noticed at least +44 message posts in this thread of different murders per day...a ghoulish and psychotic behavior if someone was able to do that. The United States is going down the toilet...it has been since the Vietnam era. No lawmaker or politician has been able to fix it, especially with the growing mental illness in America while lawmakers/politicians are expressing support of violence against other ethnic groups... As stated, America is fucked up. Yet, if you live in a high crime area...stop bitching and move to someplace that's much safer especially if you're trying to protect your spouse/children. Further, everybody should follow the history of Pandemics...crime dramatically increases when coming out of a Pandemic. It takes a few years for people to get their minds wrapped around the dramatic mental illness, psychotic behavior that Pandemic caused...good luck with that. wrbtrader
That's odd. Because, as I said, I grew up dirt poor and my mom never drank or did drugs. She did what she could to get me into camp - working two jobs - and making my childhood as good as she could.
See, and while I certainly agree that those factors influence it, I also believe a poor family unit is something you left out mentioning.
I don't think its odd as this country has been struggling with drugs and crime for decades,much more than other first world country's.
