You... won't like my answers. It's because Americans commit far more crime by our culture. America has an extremely individualistic culture combined with little to no social services. Which, unfortunately, leads to our crime rates and incarceration rates.
If you've ever been to Japan, you'd understand they have a much more community-oriented culture. But, something tells me you don't like that either...

You haven't laid out any facts. You can't just say "uh, facts" and pretend that does something. I don't know you. I don't know what you believe or why.
If you want to win based on logic or "facts", you have to actually, you know, try.
Here are my previously written facts again[1] for your convenience. You're either intentionally ignoring my previous facts to comment in bad faith or you have reading comprehension issues if you miss so many lines of text.
>> "Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam -- famous for "Bowling Alone," his 2000 book on declining civic engagement -- has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings."[1]
