It could be a number of things ranging from bad policy to a more violent culture (largely localized to specific environments). It's certainly not a conspiracy. This is kook stuff. BTW, violent crime has gone way down over the last 20 years. I wonder if taking out the trash has had any effect?
As for "most incarcerated" spare me. I'm not worried about going to prison? Are you? Staying out seems like a no brainer.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

It is sad. I'm no fan of criminality, but I have seen the trends. If a small town with very little crime opens a new jail with more beds, the crime rate goes up accordingly. Does this mean there is more crime? No. It means less severe crimes get treated with jail now that they have a bit more space. And they have to justify that extra space. If they leave it empty, no more new funding.
I think we are well beyond the point where the number of people in jail or prison are able to be supported financially by the taxpayers who are not. Yet another thing being done on credit, that we can never pay for.
I live with a profound happiness that can only be achieved by being hated by Mr.Veritis
