  1. I suspect the quality of life in a country and how people are treated, especially lower classes has a big impact on crime rate, after all, you're more likely to turn to crime in hard times than not. I think this is where the real problem is in the US, the system doesn't treat lower and middle classes that well, there is a weak social system and safety net and the way the prison system is in the US is almost barbaric by other modern countries, which likely has the impact of someone returning to crime because of having less opportunities once they've paid their dues. What we see in other modern countries when it comes to the prison system wouldn't work in the US until they fix a lot of the core issues in society which leads to a lot of crimes and I don't think that is going to be easy to fix in the US, even thought it should be because the blueprint is already there in more or less every other modern country, they've figured it out, why hasn't the US? I suspect capitalism is a big factor or the degree of how capitalism is king in the US compared to other modern countries that are more like social democracies, basically capitalism but with big governments and a lot of social protections for it's citizens and it's likely many of these factors can play into whether you turn to crime or not.
