And the amount of poverty that you get in Naples and in the surrounding areas is (sadly) the worst in Western Europe. So there is a mile-long line of kids waiting to be accepted just to escape from complete poverty.
Very true.
And if---a very big if---you buy into the liberal theology that growing up in abject poverty makes people more likely to commit violent crimes, then it makes sense that the Cammoristi from Naples are more prone to violence than their Calabrian and Sicilian counterparts.
But it's not like the average Calabrian or Sicilian grew up on Fifth Avenue. I've seen many of those villages. Far from it
