Now explain the rise of gang violence in Sweden, with kids queuing to become gang members. I don't think poverty is the explanation (nor is immigration as some claims). There's no desperation here and plenty of options for other careers or life paths.
No, they look up to the criminals. Being a gangster is cool and respect is everything. You need to respond violently to the most mundane things or you risk losing the respect.
The ongoing conflicts started because of some truly ridiculous things, like someone not being invited to a robbery and feeling humiliated/jealous when they bragged about the crime. It's always some personal reasons where someone thinks they are being disrespected, and never about turfs like you would think.
