This conclusion is based on remembered anecdote from 35 years ago...bit shaky to make firm statements based on that.
Edit: Unless I'm missing something basic here? I don't see any reference or link to the "study on juvenile crime" the article title references.
- seabird 9y agoIt is indeed anecdotal, but gang violence is hugely influenced by the culture of the nation it's taking place in. Brash, unabashed outlaws have been romanticized in American culture since its very beginning, and firearms have always been a part of the American gunslinger mythos. Other nations facing organized crime with access to firearms don't necessarily have the same issues.
