    I got introduced to the Gini Coefficient from Prof Jordan Peterson where he discussed the correlation between crime and poverty.
    He says that poverty DOES NOT cause crime but RELATIVE POVERTY.
    Relative Poverty can be measured using the Gini Coefficient. The more unequal a society, the higher chance of crime occurring.
    Thus, as the Gini Coefficient approaches 1, the higher the possibility of crime occurring.

      @@freshrockpapa-e7799 because the location of wealth is important. If you have the poor all placed on one spot and the rich very far away, you can bet crimes will be low. However, put a rich mansion in the middle of a poor area and see how many break ins will happen. That is why rich people tend to live in gated communities so as not get robbed.
      So how do you keep the owner of the rich mansion from getting robbed? Increase the surrounding wealth.

      0.45 was Singapore 2020 and 0.48 in the US. So its about the same actually and the point that @milo made is very valid, in more equal places the benefits are often reserved for citizens or other members of certain entities (in-group)
