    We usually associate all these problems with poor countries and underdeveloped regions with very high problems of marginalisation.
    But what if we were to tell you that we can also talk about the very land of the American dream? The United States is experiencing a new wave of violence and the question is.... Why? In this video we tell you all the details.

      Depends on which country you are refering to. In Greece for example, most valid reasons are poverty, drugs and gang violence + hooligans. Illegal immigration with 0 checks after entry ( taking advantage of asylum status) combined with completely defunct, corrupt police/governments is another issue. This society is becoming increasingly more depressed and violent ( underage criminality shot up by a lot too)

      Violent crime is down from the peak, which was the BLM riots, that's why, it is still super high compared to the last 20 years before that point. Certain categories are still at record high though, like car thefts for example. People always forget non violent crime like theft which does suffer less prosecution, these same people will down the line commit harder crimes including violent ones. I would argue it's the refusal to prosecute non violent crimes that's going to be a serious issue.

    • @debrainwasher
      @debrainwasher Před 2 měsíci +6

      In Switzerland, crime rates are very low, due to the quick and relentless establishment of neofeudalism and draconian punishments for even slightest violations of the law. Furthermore, laws to discipline citizens are no longer made by our lawmakers, but by our large oligopolistic corporates. And our judges do not longer judge in accordance with the law, but with policies of parties and corporates. Additionally, a down payment has been introduced to make ordinary citizens civil court cases unaffordable. For example, I am just facing a conviction for robbery. May crime was, when a purchased goods from a store and paid it to a self-scanning cash register station, after payment, the scanner caught the bar code of an old receipt, the red bright warning light went and the screen instructed me to wait for personnel, since the system could not find the code. In Switzerland, big corporates had legislated, any reactivation of a self-scanning cash registers after payment cancels (!) the sales contract. After waiting for about ten minutes, I tried to steal the previously paid goods that did no longer belong to me - and I was caught by the store detective. Since I refused to pay the compensation fee of CHF 100 for theft (about USD 112) and tried to leave the store, police was called in, recognized and reported theft and necessitation - since I refused to comply with the given orders and wanted to leave to store with stolen goods, without paying the compensation fee. Theft combined with necessitation is defined as robbery in Switzerland. Maybe, US should introduce the very same principles.

    I'm a Chinese American immigrant living in Texas. I personally think the widespread drug problem is the biggest single cause for most of America's problems. US is unique in the world with an easy and long border with a failed state that is basically controlled by drug cartels that also traffics humans. These drug cartels are safe making obscene profits hiding behind the border, drugs are flowing in as much as illegal immigrants daily. It's obvious that drug use leads to homelessness, violence, crimes, poverty, inequality, and the police being too stretched to deal with all of that. Americans as a result, resort to buying more guns to own protection. Truly, unless the cartel is defeated and Mexico government becomes uncorrupt, the US spending all the money on homelessness, rehabs, policing, will never solve the problem.

    The BLM riots of 2016 and the anti-police outrage led many officers to resign and a shortage of new recruits signing up. This led to police forces being understaffed. If you wonder why many larger cities were forced to mobilize the National Guard as quickly as they did during the unrest of 2020 it was due to police understaffing
    The ANTIFA/BLM riots combined with a defund the police push in 2020 further exasperated the already undertaffing issue. Polcice forces today are grossly understaffed and have almost no applicants

      If you also really think that poverty is not at the core of social decay, then you're never going to see progress. No one ENJOYS being a criminal, immigrant or not. They do it because the other means of living are no longer paying the bills nor are feasible.

      The US has 3400 counties. Half of the murders occur in only 30 counties. These counties share two common traits. Urban and majority black. Take these communities out of the picture, the US crime rate will be one of the lowest in the developed world. The US does not have a crime problem, she has a poor black problem. If the US solves this problem, the US will be safe again. Note, legal immigrants from black Africa and Caribbean do note exhibit such crime/poverty rates as American blacks descendent from slavery. Tough enforcement, and social programs must be used in tandem to deal with them.

    Before blaming easy access to guns, shouldn't you check whether the criminals use legal guns?
    At least in Europe, we have plenty of gun crime with already illegal firearms...
    In addition, guns are like knives only tools, and will not be used unless there's already an underlying motivation... So, if someone feels like he has nothing to lose anymore and a huge grudge against someone, it doesn't really matter if he uses an illegal firearm or a legal knife...
    I can't recall the details, but I've seen an interesting statistic about the accessibility of firearms in the world and shooting sprees. The thing was that the correlation was not as strong as one may come to expect. It appeared to be more of a cultural thing! Just like acid attacks and Gang R in other countries....

      Any person committed enough can get a gun. Very true
      What makes it worse in the US is how easy it is to get one, legal or illegal.
      Where as it may cost a significant amount and knowing connected people in other places, you can scrounge up enough money working a mim wage job for a couple weeks to get an AR and enough bullets to go on a little spree pretty easily.
      And if you seriously think a gun and knife are comparable tools that you can commit crimes with.... you need a hard dose of reality.
      Sure, its all about the person, but I have a feeling that already bad person might have an easier time doing their crimes with a gun. Like robbing people... killing someone... or even just offing themselves.
      People can run away from a knife... if they are larger or just have something to block/hit you back with... they can effectively fight back.
      Not so much when they have a loaded gun pointing at them.
      A small child can stop/kill a professional athlete or solider with a pistol at close range (under 10m). Cant say the same with a knife.
      Has nothing to do with culture... I'm sure if the somewhere like the UK made guns as accessible as they were here, their violent crime rate would also significantly increase (not like its great now)

    As they say, "Snitches get stitches." It can be dangerous, as well as a hassle, to report crimes. If the police are vilified and underfunded, and if District Attorneys don't prosecute criminals, the number of crimes reported may decline even if the number of crimes committed does not decline.
    We should consider other indicators, such as:
    (1) The numbers of business establishments that cease operations, with the owners explaining that high crime rates drove them out of business.
    (2) The tendency of stores to put their wares behind transparent barriers that must be unlocked to access those wares
    (3) The number of businesses that cover their fronts and backs with rolldown barriers when the businesses are closed.
    (4) The cost and difficulty to businesses of getting insurance against theft and fraud.

    2. The high level of violence in America is the result of lots of violent people. Period. At some point, the question of why so many violent people exist becomes less important than the fact we have a lot of violent people and we need to deal with them.

    That's a mighty impressive display of intellectual dishonesty.
    You point to falling incarceration rates as a positive instead of the driver of the crime wave that it actually is. After 2020, leftist prosecutors instituted a policy of releasing without bail nearly everyone arrested regardless of the nature of the offense. The most egregious example was a little noticed hearing in New Mexico, where the state gave serious consideration to releasing without bail a SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER who was arrested while attempting to flee the state. A much higher profile example was the release without bail of a bunch of illegal immigrants who had attacked cops in New York City's Times Square. Violet behavior is actively encouraged by leftist policies forbidding law enforcement from stopping smaller property crimes like shoplifting. California Gavin Newsom hilariously witnessed shoplifting at a Target store and was stunned when the employee answered his question to why she didn't stop it with, "the governor won't let us."
    If you want to identify the source of the crime wave in America, ask one of your fellow leftists why they openly encourage lawlessness.

    The combination of free access to weapons + lack of welfare state is the main reason for the high crime rate in the USA

    There was a large, unexpected drop in crime in the 90s. Maybe it's related somehow?

    I wouldn’t go to England right now, or Europe in general. Is so dangerous!

    So less criminals in jail and crime goes up is a good thing
