Crime Rates Proportional Single Mothers

by Lewis Loflin

Summary: violent crime is the end result of single mothers and social breakdown regardless of race.

Violent crime including gun crime is proportional to "diversity" meaning low-achieving non-Asian minorities. The ten most violent cities share much in common: white populations under 50 percent and controlled by Democrat administrations.

The causes of this problem directly lie with unwed mothers and lack of jobs for unskilled workers many further hobbled by drug and substance abuse and never developing a work ethic. The job problems are made worse by mass immigration that has pushed marginal workers of all races out of the labor force.

To quote "10 Most Dangerous Cities In America" by Thomas C. Frohlich, Alexander Kent & Alexander E.M. Hess:

"Despite the nation's improving crime rates, a number of large U.S. cities are still especially dangerous. Nationwide, 368 violent crimes were reported for every 100,000 people in 2013. Such crimes include murder, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery. In America's 10 most dangerous cities, there were more than 1,300 violent crimes per 100,000 residents. Based on violent crime data published by the FBI's 2013 Uniform Crime Report, these are America's most dangerous cities.

In many of these cities, high murder rates are especially problematic. Three of these cities - Detroit, St. Louis, and Baltimore - had nation-leading murder rates of 45, 38, and 37 per 100,000 people, respectively, in 2013. In all, eight of the 10 cities with the highest violent crime rates were also among the 25 cities with the highest murder rates."

Based on a Goggle search I found these listed as the ten most violent cities. Some come as no surprise and but a few are a surprise. Rockford, Ill. at 65 percent white and about 21 percent black. But a map that shows crime by district shows high crime levels in black areas and around public housing

New Orleans wasn't included, but was included along with St. Louis and Baltimore among the 50 most violent cities in the world.

These rankings are based on violent crimes per 100,000 people so New Orleans has far more crime overall than Rockford which only had a puny 19 murders in 2013.

Poverty rates were also of interest in that except for Detroit here in Southwest Virginia the poverty rates exceeded that of the other nine - yet we have a fraction of the crime of these communities. Even West Virginia with the highest poverty rates in the nation (actually it's California when they factor in cost of living) is its low violent crime rates. The region is 90 percent plus white.
