Relative poverty. A poor district can have low crime because everyone within it is poor and it's not playing into the dating market. It's when you live right across from the guy who has a cushy job just because his parents and the government socialized his way into it, while you get paid half as much for work that really is more difficult that you start breaking windows.
Socialists make this disparity 1,000x worse, but their low-IQ arguments can find widespread appeal among both the poor who are desperate for assistance wherever they can find it, and privileged academics who get to feel good about themselves while maintaining a system that, in practice, shuts out people that would otherwise outcompete them. It's capitalist meritocracy that offers the best opportunities for class mobility. Poor socialists need to stop looting, and rich socialists need to stop mooching.
We can't expect to discourage petty crime if we've institutionalized theft at the highest echelons of economic decision making.
Inequality causes crime.
Inequality in USA has skyrocketed in the last 40 years.
False
How so?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States
The U.S. has the highest level of income inequality among its (post-industrialized) peers.
Inequality, particularly economic inequality, is linked to higher crime rates as individuals in deprived areas may resort to crime due to financial struggles and lack of opportunities. Studies show that a significant percentage of prisoners come from the most deprived communities, indicating that poverty can lead to criminal behavior.
Run the state by state breakdown. It's the leftist blue zones that have inequality and crime problems. Everywhere else is peaceful.
Hardly! thatâs what the media pushes. Crime happens everywhere.
Plus itâs a per capita occurrence. More people = more crime.
Plus people tend to hand wave away white collar crime like how SBF and Bernie Madoff robbed people blind!

The California and New York run media is not pushing a narrative that blue zones have a crime problem. It gets mentioned by the people living in reality because it's true.

Maybe it's just easier to avoid leaving your Bitcoin on the exchange or betting on someone else's stock trades than to deal with the externalities of the annual DNC-endorsed riots. But I'll admit physical assault tends to ellicit a stronger emotional reaction that isn't necessarily proportional to the consequences of white color crime.
But the blue team also has a bigger white collar crime problem as well. Case in point, SBF AND BERNIE MADOFF.
But the level of fraud and stealing that happens doesnât make major news. I read how a silver scam robbed a senior of their life savings!!
It is hard to paint a broad brush and say crime from democrats or republicans each side has its evil!
The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has given an insight into his life during the US-Israeli war on Iran, saying he spent the past several weeks in a command centre.
âAfter six weeks of living at command center in one room with two dogs, sleeping on cots, making meals in microwave and hot plate, and having very limited movement, weâre back at residence during ceasefire,â Huckabee wrote.
âActual bed! Being Ambassador is filled with luxury and adventure!â
Huckabee is a staunch supporter of Israel. The avowed Christian Zionist sparked outrage in February after saying in an interview he âwould be fineâ if Israel took most of the Middle East, in accordance with his interpretation of the Bible.
Going Infinite is a good book that you clearly have not yet read.
Instead you swallowed the MSM Dark State Zionist Banker hype whole!
Become an informed commentator.
Rich commit all kinds of crime and fraud
Nobody is claiming they don't but that is not a reasoned argument for refuting that inequality causes crime.
Human nature causes crime.

Yes, inequality between you rich coastal socialists and the real America. People like Maduro and Xi love inequality.
A famous quote by the great Royce White
âIf your government is stealing everyone is stealingâ
Jeffery Epstein was rich AF. This is a fallacy any human can commit crime especially in the name of greed.
yeah but different kinds of crime. Rich people might still run a pedophile cabal or more common crimes like killing their wives and such. But rich people do not break into houses to steal someones tv.
Ok, now do treasury companies; health care execs; corrupt politicians (sry, redundant)
?
I had a point with this, but in response to some other comment. Makes zero sense to me rn, so I gotta backtrack:/
Crime is just a function of poverty.
A lawyer in New York or a Doctor in Paris isn't out there writing scam emails or pigbutchering on Telegram. Poor people are. The lower class in 1st world countries or whole building complexes in the 3rd world are.
The solution to fraud/scam/crime generally is growing the economy until everyone is comfortable đđ
