One factor of many is that homes in poverty stricken areas are less secure.<br /><br />For everyone who loves to jump on Jackson's crime stats: If you really want to solve a problem, the first thing to do is to understand the problem. The FBI provides research and provide information about what solutions have had some success. There is a long history of crime from which to gather information, but if you don't bother to learn, you will remain ignorant.

If I may answer for 10:33, it is indisputable that more crime happens in poor areas because they just don’t seem to believe there’s much to lose by squeezing off a few rounds at some bro who pisses them off. They are uneducated, so have little ability to assess a situation and weigh consequences, the way someone with more money, background, and education might. That’s why we get all excited when an upper-middle-class person commits a crime: it’s pretty rare, therefore more newsworthy. For every Sheldon Alston in custody, there are about ninety dozen or so Ke’Terious or Quontavions being rounded up (then promptly let loose, but that is another topic for another day).
