The violent crime rate is higher in poor areas because they’re more likely to be targeted by police and also less likely to have the prosecutor throw out the case.

I’d love to see a source stating that everywhere is equally safe.

I currently live in Medellin, Colombia so don’t talk to me about dangerous places to live. I never said every place was safe. I said that the violent crime rates seem higher in poorer areas because of reporting and prosecution. It’s not because poor people are inherently more violent.
