There are many roots to the problem. Two of them are

1. Low IQ
2. Poor impulse control.

I’m not sure how closely linked these are. Very little can be done to raise IQ, but perhaps the schools could make an effort to teach impulse control. (Poor impulse control is at the root of most violent behavior, gambling, drugs, and other addictions.)

Forgive me, I know the IQ word is said a lot on FR, but throughout my life so far I have came across people who were born with that condition, and there were plenty who were kind and hard-working, just not really smart, they are human beings, and should not be looked down upon by anyone, and not because of these idiots who burn down their own neighborhoods.

- Just saying, no offense.

Frankly grabbing excuses out of hats for why these people “choose” to do what they do is a fruitless endeavor. THEY are choosing behavior they KNOW is wrong...period.

Throwing monies away into the educational system has been done for years, and look where we are today. Most of this violence is simply a culture which not only teaches it from one generation to another.....but accepts the behavior as the norm....in their homes and on the streets.
