A big part of the problem is how the population keeps putting the corrupt leaders who caused and perpetuate high rates of violent crime back into office. How many Chicago politicians have wound up in jail?
It's sad to say, but a population usually gets the political representation it deserves.

America in a nutshell.
Some neighborhoods more than others, but overall our nation suffers from laziness, greed, political ignorance and apathy of the citizens. As a result, we are ruled by scoundrels.
