WHQR’s reporting on Port City United:

Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between poverty and violence. Here’s some stats on the relationship:

And here’s a link to a 2019 PBS special on violence, mentioned by Rachel Keith. Some of the key takeaways are the highest correlating factor with violence — economic inequality and at the end, an epidemiologist showed how violence acts like a disease spreading. They showed maps of violent instances and it mirrored what a disease outbreak looks like. Basically, one murder spurs a wave of retaliation.
