The atmosphere in and around strip club does breed crime. More indirectly, by lowering the bar of expectations, and diluting, removing, even mocking the sense of shame that should accompany working in or attending such a place.

How does a lowered sense of shame about working in or attending such a place lead to crime?

There is also direct crime -- prostituion, pimping, drug-selling, slavery, extortion, bribery, robbery, common in these places.

You didn't address my suggestion that these crimes might be merely relocated rather than bred by the strip club.

Thoughts of possible criminal acts occur in all to some level. What stops them? Lack of opportunity, cost, amoung others. Shame is at least a cost. By creating an environment which shuts down shame, criminal acts more easily move from concept to actuality, and as each does, it creates the path, the example, for others to follow.
