Wealth inequality may explain an increase in property crime. I do not follow how a rapid increase in violent crime factors in. Resentment is another motivation I understand but it seems a stretch to attribute baseball bats to the head as being a direct consequence. I suppose if you pair it with a social messaging narrative that true “class warfare” is ok you might be able to get there. It seems more likely though that the core driving force lies elsewhere.
