Crime is a problem in general for some neighborhoods and some
demographics. In Ft Myers it was announced that virtually all of the
murders occurred in an area where 1% of the population lives.

The 1% would be the rich guys with mansions and swimming
pools?
Just a wild guess, of course.

Here in Brazil it's the opposite, most violent crime occurs in
poor neighborhoods where the population is either unemployed
(unemployment is up to 30% after the right wing coup of 2015, when it
was 4.7%) or have a really low income. Independent of color or race.

OTOH non-violent crime (even heinous crimes like tax evasion,
declaring bankruptcy so you don't have to pay wages, extortion,
bribing government officials, insider trading etc) occurs in the
richest zones.

Of course, the two are interconnected. One wouldn't exist
without the other.
