Higher yes, but people acting like it’s a complete lawless wasteland? That’s what I’m talking about. People so damn afraid that they’re going to be murdered the moment they set foot in it in broad daylight. That’s just affluenza speaking. Go through a lot of disadvantaged areas and you’ll find generally people are just trying to make it by. Thanks for proving my point.
Who says its like a lawless wasteland? If you go to an area in which crime is statistically higher, you are statistically more likely to be a victim of crime, how is my logic flawed? You realistically gonna tell me my neighborhood at night is the same level of danger as skid row CA at 9 pm? Im not talking about socioeconomic/racial/inequality here, I’m talking about math. It you think you can/should go anywhere whenever you want I promise you havent been to enough places.
The violent crime rate is higher in poor areas because they’re more likely to be targeted by police and also less likely to have the prosecutor throw out the case.
I’d love to see a source stating that everywhere is equally safe. I’ve been robbed at gunpoint before, it wasn’t in the fucking nice part of town. This is a stupid sentiment that blatantly ignores the reality of the situation. It’s also insulting to people who live in dangerous areas in my opinion.
I currently live in Medellin, Colombia so don’t talk to me about dangerous places to live. I never said every place was safe. I said that the violent crime rates seem higher in poorer areas because of reporting and prosecution. It’s not because poor people are inherently more violent.
I never said poor people are more violent inherently, because that’s not true. You’re asserting that everywhere is equally violent, poor areas are just more viewed that way because crime is more highly reported and the perpetrators are not represented as well. If that’s not your point then how is reporting or representation pertinent to the conversation? You either think OP has an incorrect assertion or you don’t.
You dont think it has anything to do with the statistical violent crime rate?
