underfunding, more like completeing defunding it. even in moderately ok areas school distracts lack funding or no significant effort has been made to help students other than shunting them to another class/school where it wont affect thier testing scores. the one simpsons episode kinda highlight this problem, they depend on a person high scores in order for funding, so they are willing to let things slide like cheating and cooking the books. they need thier cannon fodder for the military , the low wage workers , the person who will become a police officer that is willing to perpetuate the violence.
I think it’s worth pointing out that you don’t necessarily get high crime levels in whole countries where everyone’s poor together. It’s any sort of poverty seen directly alongside extreme wealth (i.e. economic inequality) that’s been shown in studies to contribute to crime, along with numerous other societal ills.
Guns, crushing poverty, fascist policing, underfunded education, a prison system that isn’t designed to reform anyone. Etc.
