Living in a compassionate conservative led country
Almost 1 out of every 100 people living in the US are currently in prison. Considering that represents an incarceration rate that is 25% higher than any other country in the world, I'd argue that a lack of social responsibility on the part of government is to blame. Does anyone really think that Americans are more prone to crime? More likely they are in a desperate enough socioeconomic condition to chose crime.

Add to that America's culture of violence and glorification of same, it's love of weapons, the "war on drugs", and the practically obscene level of materialism and consumerism... all combine to make America a criminal's paradise.
and of course we can add to that the liberal propensity toward moral relativism and advocation of criminal rights, etc... :)

Maybe we should be a Socialist paradise. Like France, perhaps? I mean, their socioeconomic conditions are a model for the world. Its not like anyone in France would riot over a lack of economic opportunity. Right?
