In fact, "young" violent crime mostly a cultural issue.
There are a lot of countries in the world, for example in SE Asia, which are pretty poor but "super safe" - poverty/joblessness doesn't lead to crime.
I would argue reasons for crime hotspots are:
- Effective destruction of family.
- Degenerative urban/dense environment.
- No viable life prospects - regardless of what you do, statistically you're stuck at bottom.
It's not just that you are poor. Many people in the world are poor. It's that you're poorer than most people in the society, you don't really need to work to avoid starvation and if you do, it doesn't move your prospects.
