1. Good Question
You nailed it with low wages and no jobs. It will get worse before it gets better.

Unemployment has little or nothing to do with it (possibly having a well developed welfare state might). While there exist unemployment reporting issues, other countries have and have had higher or much higher unemployment rates than other countries (are there any that don't?). Even now, our unemployment rates are considered low by historical standards.

Our culture is responsible for the violence.
