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?

You don't have to be rich to have a pool.

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.

Same here. It may even be more concentrated.

You seem to have snipped the really heinous crimes ... the
ones that cause poverty and the violence associated with it. Are you
guilty of something or did you forget to scroll down?

Here it is:

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.

Tax evasion, exploiting bankruptcy laws and insider trading doesn't
leave people bleeding in the street. It also has nothing to do with
why people are locked in a cycle of poverty.

No???
Keep looking. A bit below the surface.
"Corporate malfeasence" causes a LOT of financial hardship at the
lower end of the scale - and a lot of REAL HURT in the middle.
