To minimize one variable we need to modify a cause, not just something that correlates.
Also I think what you say is an assumption and there may not even be correlation.
- vacri 10y ago> Also I think what you say is an assumption and there may not even be correlation. There can be no meaningful discussion if you demand a cited argument for every link in the chain from origin. Both anecdotal evidence and formal studies show that violent crime is overrepresented in poorer demographics, and richer demographics don't tend to put themselves at physical risk. Yes, domestic violence is seen at all levels, but street violence is not. Trying to argue about the nature of the argument itself on this point is just playing academic parlour games. It's taking people who want to talk about an advanced physics topic and derailing the conversation by making them instead define what a meter is - when everyone interested in the topic already agrees with the definition of that basic building block.
