Usually this group shows up in stats as "gang related crime" or something like that.
Basically it's all the violence that lawful businesses don't need to use to settle business disputes because they can use the courts and threat of state violence to settle their disputes instead whereas the drug industry needs to bring it in-house.
- anders_p 5y agoBut why remove that demographic from the US statistic, before comparing with other nations? Isn't that a bit disingenuous? I'd imagine you'd see similar improvement in other countries stats, if you remove the poorest and the drug gangs.
- goto11 5y agoSo if you remove drug-related crime from the statistics, suddenly US look a lot less violent? That is a great way to solve the problem!
