Oops, I meant to post this webpage link in my last post:http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm
I posted it earlier in this thread, but figured I'd post it again.
Also, considering that guys quote, it is a vicious cycle between substance abuse and poverty and mental illness. Those 2 factors can increase the likelihood of someone developing a mental illness. And mental illness can also increase the chances someone will live in poverty or develop a problem with substance abuse. With a result of these situations being that these people have a higher chance of being involved in violent crime.
But I believe even the wealthy are regularly committing crimes. though with their crimes more likely falling into the category of crimes against humanity. An example being when a drug company covers up information about severe adverse effects their products can have on those who take their product. Or an auto company ignoring/hiding defects in their vehicles that result in the injury or death of many. But often they simply pay a fine when they are found out, and just go on about their business. Yet the amount of harm their actions/inaction often cause end up making any mass shooting look like a tiny speck in the statistics.
