I would also expect culture to be a component of causation. What I would like to see is the overlay of shooting locations and poverty levels globally. This could also help cast more light on cultural differences as a causal factor.My gut suspects that poverty is what gives rise to organized crime and sets a vicious circle into motion. I would be curious if that held for other organized crime groups, like the Italian mafia etc. Great food for thought!

That could be as well. Yet I've also lived in poverty quite a few times in my life and didn't really see that happening. I didn't live in places of poverty that also had big drug problems, perhaps that is the combination?
Actually when I was in poverty it was pretty rural locations. So poverty plus population density would make some sense in that regard.
Good point. This could make culture, AND race less of a factor.
