Is there that many ricans in the Yukon?

Is there that many ricans in the Yukon? 

I should point out that the only two places that beat the Yukon are the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Indians + Booze.

It's a tad more nuanced than that...

Indians + Booze + Meth?

[Admiral Yi]

Indians + booze + meth - sunlight?

Indians + booze + meth - sunlight + Vampires!

Good point, do those stats include all crimes, or any crimes that the AADA decides his gut tells him he should prosecute?

Weirdly, there's no meth up here.  Meth has actually been a minor victory in the "war on drugs".  When it came back with a vengeance, oh, 5 years ago, there was such a strong public response, and we were so effective at getting the message out, that it's spread really was stopped in its tracks.  Places where meth was a problem it continues to be a problem, but it didn't spread to new areas.

Plus, the negative effects of meth are so obvious that even the druggies realized the stuff was no good.

So instead they stick with crack cocaine.

So why is Yukon so violent?  Or rather why is the north so violent (since I believe that Greenland and Alaska have the same issues)?

It's not enough to say "natives", as there's nothing genetic about first nations people that makes them more violent.  But our jails are overwhelmingly full of people of first nations background, well above their proportion of the population.

I think it's a lot of the same factors that other disadvantaged groups are going through, like balcks and 'ricans in the US.  Poverty, substance abuse, and collapse of the family unit and collapse of wider societal supports.  I think with first nations groups though the issues just run much, much deeper.  The unemployment rate for first nations people is huge - most people do not work.  We have generational substance abuse: gandpa drinks, mom drinks, little johnny drinks.  The family unit has largely disintegrated (and I could do a dissertation on the effect residential schools had on this).  And particularily in remote communities there is no other support.  There is no churches, no government employees, no nothing.

When I google AADA I get:

American Academy of Dramatic Arts
Advances in Adaptive Data Analysis
American Auto Duel Association (Car Wars )
African Automotive Design Association
Australian Academy of Dramatic Arts

and that's just from page 1.

Hush you. I'm *trying* to give a *complement*.

This may be the first time in Languish history anyone has ever done so to another Languishista, so I don't want it turned.

Hah! I knew it was just a thin cover to attack our poor Associate Assistant District Attorney, so I just figured I take the shot first, because I have respect for him, unlike some around here.

Thank you.   

Berk, those stats are reported crimes, not convictions.

Mixing & matching from that list, I would like to see an Asians Against Automobile Abuse (AAAA).

Two *compliments* in one thread?   

Oh Languish, what has happened to you?
