[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 22064, member: 18"] There's a lot of overlap reference the issues you bring up and it probably bears discussion. My experience is that the have-nots are the most likely criminal predators because they are the most likely to be familiar with violent culture and have personal experience with it. They are also less-dissuaded by consequences because the loss to them is so much less than to someone in the higher economic strata. The reason socio-economic factors were not part of the paradigm is that violent culture is a far better descriptor than socio-economic class as there are plenty of sociopaths from all classes. Kids who have familiarity with violence like spousal abuse or child abuse which cross all economic lines are very likely to be violent and a certain percentage will turn to criminal violence. The choice of target is not consistent as some of these types are more logical and cunning than others. Some work in their own neighborhood because its convenient. Some seek greener pastures where there is a soft target-rich environment and no one personally knows them. The reason its not part of the paradigm is that its just not a consistent enough factor to prepare for. Reference the second question, EDP's/Mentals are one of the most likely calls we get. We deal with them several times a night in all areas of town. Regarding planned or spur of the moment ciminal activity, its once again not a consistent enough factor to be specifically prepared for. That said, prepared for violence is obviously the most dangerous thing most people will encounter. Those are the people we must train for. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
