Blazey, do you run around with your eyes closed, and fingers in your ears singing 'I cant hear you'????

Of course violent crimes and murder are more likely in poorer areas. Look at Brixton, Hackney, Moss Side....., also the term 'desperate times for desperate measures'.

In a low crime area, house prices go up so only wealthier people can afford to live there. High crime rate, prices go down.
