it's the Gini coefficient

it's relative poverty, not absolute poverty

Trying to find correlation of GINI factor and murder/crime is difficult. I have said for a long time, ti is not poverty, but relative income. It appears GINI was first written about by Carrodo GINI of Italy in 1912 or so. The mathematical formulas to arrive at said ratio are numerous and well above my pay grade. Like Global warming, there is great international interest in wealth factors, which also will bring about enormous funding by various left wing groups, searching for that egalitarian utopia, which exists only in another plane, and in the minds of dreamers. Seriously, if you have any information, please share it, as it is an interest of mine.
