re: More Violence in the South: Explains Our Intense Fandom?

quote:

---

In the North, the vast majority of property crimes and murders are committed by unrelated parties, the perpetrator and victem don't know each other, where in the South, murders and property crimes are committed by related parties, the perpetrator and victim know each other and/or are family. Crimes in the North are more often crimes of opportunity (i.e. killed a guy who witnessed a theft because someone needed the money) as apposed to in the South, they are generally more often crimes of passion (guy is killed for cheating on my sister and I stole his TV to pay her back for that time she payed to fix his truck).
