I stand with John Locke.
Trying to nail down the cause of crime is like trying to nail down spaghetti. I did a paper in college on crime and poverty and my research blew a hole in the crime/poverty relationship.
The ten poorest counties in America are in Appalachia. And I mean real poverty. No wide screen, no air conditioning, no running water, no electricity. They also have a violent crime rate way below the national average.
I was able to point to a correlation between population density and crime, but no correlation could be made between poverty and crime.
The DOJ web site has some interesting documents with all the statistics. I'll look them up when I get to a real computer.

I do not care why we have crime. I do not care why we have hurricanes. I intend prepare for both or become a statistic.
40 + years of academic ******** have taught us only this--- violence is very dangerous and needs to be countered immediately not after some academic writes a paper.
We will not survive another 40 + years of academic ********.
