Why's Texas have so many criminals
Texas isn't an outlier in crime. It ranks 21st in murder rate . 84% of the population is urban (15th most urban state). Dallas and Houston are the 4th and 5th largest metro areas in the country, and struggle with the same crime problem as other big metros like New York, LA, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta.

- igetspam 3y agoTechnically suicide is a crime and shooting yourself with a gun is a violent act, so... Seems about right
- WillPostForFood 3y agoTechnically suicide is a crime No it isn't, not in any of the 50 states is it a crime.
