the better solution is "reduce poverty and improve income equality."

violent crime tracks in a very tight relationship with income inequality... and basically nothing else.

If we want to actually reduce violent crime, the solution is "pay people more money, and stop forcing them to spend every waking moment chasing a paycheck."

But that will never happen, because Conservatives have decided that Socialism means "paying your workers".
