Ya, the US just has such rampant poverty that crime rates are still through the roof, it’s just far more targeted.
It still seems very weird to me that ya’ll hate crime so damn much but won’t do the one thing that will really help bring it down, which is to just use the vast wealth of the country(but not its people oh boy) to actually help people. The US sure has a punishment fetish though*.
*I don’t think zero punishment would be a solution either but ya’ll take it somewhere awful.

You’re pretty much trying to smash together separate issues at this point.
They really aren’t. Poverty and crime are intrinsically linked and there’s no getting around it.
