On: How Gangs Took Over Prisons

I'd be interested to see how many murders are are linked to dealing drugs. When you have a lot of money and weapons around people end up getting killed.

I do agree with your point thought that the US just seems to be more violent. Are serial killers and the like mainly a US phenomenon?

Probably a large number, but that doesn't explain why the U.S. murder rate was so high before the modern drug trade.
