South Carolina most Violent State AGAIN
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has again ranked South Carolina as one of the most violent states. This ranking is based on several factors from murder to assault and battery. Charleston was the leading area for violent crime for the entire state. This is the second year that South Carolina rank number one for violent crime in the FBI's ranking system. The governor of South Carolina has stated that there should be cuts in the criminal justice system. He has attempted to cut funding for various aspects of criminal justice. However, he favors increased punishment and law enforcement. This is the biggest problem with many Southern States.
The solution to the violent crime in South Carolina is not more law enforcement or more prison time. The solution is education. The education and family structure in South Carolina is horrible. Having defended clients in many different states across the country, there is no doubt that the educational system in South Carolina is broken. Many defendants do not even know what happens in a court room. South Carolina will continue to be ranked high for violent crime until education is a priority. Most of the wealthy families send their children out of state for school. There is no concern about making the local schools something to be proud of.
