You have to look beyond the study to common sense and why this produces “duh” level of insights. It’s an entire culture. Violence, crime, usually also associated with poverty, etc. when an entire neighborhood/part of a city is known for this, as often happens, it’s because it’s become the culture.

As an example, you have an entire genre of music that almost solely glorifies gang life, dealing drugs, carrying guns, etc and they all have pit bulls with spiked collars in their music videos. This promotes what’s already happening IRL. (I say this as a huge “gangster rap” fan!)

An aggressive personality is drawn to an aggressive breed of dog and then when treated aggressively is considered vicious.

You're talking about country music right? Because in the rural south where I grew up the most visible pitbull-venerating subculture by far was also really into country music, gun violence, and selling xanax and percocet.

> You're talking about country music right?

No I think you know I clearly referenced another culture/subculture via musical genre but I’m also not saying it’s mutually exclusive in any sense so I’m glad you’ve pointed out another example that illustrates my point

I don’t know much about about the one you spoke about despite being a WASP from Texas I don’t listen to country music but know rap quite well and pull from my knowledge base when writing comments online.

I don’t want to make the comment racial at all, but poor people in America have a lot of similarities whether they be white or black they glorify violence, drugs, etc the main difference is urban/rural.
