Regardless of how kids are educated, there is a serious lack of conscience and morality. Of course that is mostly dependent on how they have been raised.

I think your perception of crime in the US is skewed, perhaps by the likes of CNN and FauxNews. The violent crime rate has been falling since the early 90's and is as low as it was when I was a kid in the early 70's. The homicide rate is the lowest it's been in since the 60's. Overall it's the safest it has been in 30 years. Even in the US you are statistically much more likely (almost 2X) to die from suicide than homicide.

Not sure what my point is, other than the kids are not as violent as the media portrays.
