While the immigrant population does not necessarily mean "violence" in its own right, the children of immigrants have a high rate of following criminal pursuits, seeing the ease of gaining status through these means. To make matters worse, this area of California is near the dividing line of Norteno territory and Sureno territory, and the two Mexican gangs (originating from prison politics) have had the longest running gang war in California, since the late 60's. The further north we travel, the territory is predominately Norteno, and while the drug trafficking, auto theft, extortion, etc. is still prevalent, we don't have the rival violence. The same happens further south, but there are other gangs, (Bloods, Crips, etc) that are allies of the Nortenos that increase the violence down here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696708353516390022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825532588975069878.post-27498854052298786092010-08-20T14:07:50.637-07:002010-08-20T14:07:50.637-07:00Wow, what a nice surprise... take a look at the le...Wow, what a nice surprise... take a look at the least safest. I wonder why California holds three of the 10? Where was the study conducted... California? Is that where the bais lies or do we just have a really dangerous state?
