It's worse in most other countries.
Trust me. I'm not from here.

I would surmise that a large percentage of the problem lies in the legal system that has given people a expectation of entitlement. Our legal system affords an enormous ammount of rights to the defendents of crimes. The burden is cumbersome for the prosecution of crime. People have an expectation of entitlement in this country. They expect to recieve medical attention if they cannot afford it. They expect to be lifted up by their government and the people who WORK for their money. People in our country have bleeding hearts for these people and believe the indigant should be protected.
The majority of crime is drug related according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. This begs the question of why do people do drugs? Well if feels good to get high etc. Do these people think about the burden they place on others as a result of their addiction and the crimes (ie. Burgulary, Assault, Domestic Violence etc.) Of course they don't think about these things because they are worried about themselves or their entitlement!!!!!
It is high time we STOP offering medical attention to people who have NEVER worked more than a couple of years in their lives. Take their kids and give them to the folks that want them. Lock them away and take away the cable TV, smuck attitude, and expensive medical treatment. Eliminate lawsuits by people who don't work and have no legitimate medical reason for their failure to work. What rights should you have if you fail to follow along like the rest of society?

Every country has a lot of crime.
People are free-thinkers, and they don't always agree with the laws of the land. It's when the makers of those laws stand against those that disagree that crime occurs. No laws, no crime. But what kind of world would that be??

Alot of things are considered crimes here that are not in other countries, therefore our crime rate is higher
Plus there are a lot of people and it is starting to get crowded.. that does not help the situation

Other countries don't tolerate what we tolerate. Our justice system doesn't exactly scare anyone with a criminal mind, because they only get a slap on the wrist over and over and over again. In other countries you would actually get a punishment that makes people think twice about committing crimes. We are way to lenient on our criminals.

More people than most countries. More access to weapons. More cash to steal. More races of people to hate. More corrupt government. More politicians. More naked people in a country where it's illegal. Faster cars. More alcohol to cause drunkeness. Video games. Movies. Internet. Creator of porn entertainment. You can grow lots of kinds of drugs here. Must I go on?
