Now ask WHY it's that way. Removing the context of the nation is an easy way to make some pretty scary correlations. Let's look at it this way...the most violent nations in the world, by almost 100% above the 3rd (USA) are South Africa and Swaziland. Algeria is 15th, then that's about it on reliable data for African nations. Maybe it's coincidence that the nations of Africa are higher than the rest of the world. Or maybe is it that Africans are naturally more violent?
Correlation without causation. Africa is a problem area. Crime will of course be high. There are probably some good people out there committing violent theft to feed their family and there's going to be logical answers behind the how and the what of the statistic. We take that here and we have to believe that it'd be natural that people are on edge. The areas that hold heavily Muslim. You add in a vent to let out some frustration and concerns and away we go. I'm not convinced any other religious population would do much better given all that has impacted the area if you gave them the same problems.
