So what does the European Establishment think the cause of the rising crime rates?

I suppose it's 'the fault of society'.

They don't have any other excuses - they won't blame gun control or illegal immigration.

Good to see the States on the right track!

Our society is willing to tolerate a level of violence that would shock most Europeans however the level of violence is somewhat misrepresented in what I have seen in the European press. Not really fair to compare the USA as a whole when we have states bigger then most European Countries. However, I suspect Europe is going to learn some stiff lessons as the illegal immigration problem expands. Little bit tougher to manage a multicultureal, muliracial political body. However, we seem to be learning the proper lessons From Europe TOUGH enforcement of gun violence laws was one thing the USA was slow to adopt because of Domestic political games. The Democrat Party spent most of the 1960-70s convincing voters tough on crime was racist. Slow to overcome that mindset.
