-OK, cause of crime is difficukt to assess. Poverty plays a big part; as do other factors.
-Politics DOES play a big role. As I stated above, culture determines the politics, and politics determines the agenda, and agenda determines the results. Poly Sci 101.
-Teh high crime and death rates we see in Chicago and did in New York resulted in large part from political policies put in place in urban areas that promoted teh breakup of minority families. An unwed mother and an unemployed unwed father could bring in more money and benefits than a struggling young married couple. Granted there are lots of reasons for that. But no matter the reasons people are smart enough to game any system, and game it they did. Now after two and a half generations, "unwedness" is the life style choice for many in urban areas, resulting in fatherliess homes where children look to gangs for family. Gangs lead to crimes. Crimes grow in violence. High rankings as Death Cities result.
-Culture determines politics, politices determine agendas, agendas determine results. Poly Sci 101.
