Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The author points to recent studies that suggest poverty and social inequality as the cause of higher violence rates among poor African Americans. These factors can lead to a lack of resources and opportunities, feelings of hopelessness and despair, and exposure to violence in the community, all of which contribute to a higher likelihood of engaging in violent behavior. The author does not mention culture of violence or violent media programs as potential causes. Rapid social change is not directly discussed in relation to violence rates among African Americans.
