I was responding to the causes of GANG violence. One of them being a dad that can set a positive role model, and beat the crap out of the kid when needed, like my dad did. These young males live in a vaccumn, without that positive role model.
also kind of hard when your choices are making a thousand a week running drugs or working in a minimum wage at best job. Human nature being what it is some just find it easier to go that way that provides the most return with the least amount of effort.
and there is absolutely no question in my mind that LBJ's great society welfare expansion helps a lot. It's a lot harder to get in trouble when you are trying to feed yourself without the benefit of so many welfare checks.
