In the United States, this is almost exclusively an ethnic thing. For instance, it is found most often in the black and hispanic communities. I’m going on 63, and I’ve lived in quite a few places over my years, and I have never seen “disrespect” play such a key role among whites. Just saying.

It's gotten worse since we stopped executing murderers within 3 years of conviction, and a revolution in combat medicine (mainly from the Vietnam War) significantly improved the odds of shooting victim survival in emergency rooms. Aggravated assaults per capita have almost tripled, but homicides per capita have remained flattish since 1960.

You do have a helpful note in your tag. Faith in God needs to be found by every generation. The previous generation can not just bequeath it to them willy nilly, though it can try to teach and preach it. Anyhow, the difference between these losers of life living like this and being saved could be only a missionary and a decision away.
