In your experience, does a lack of an education make a person more prone to violence?

About 35 years ago**, as part of a "General Studies" course we spent some sessions talking about "Violence in Society". I can't really remember many of the details, but I do remember there was a small correlation between poor education and violent behaviour, but you'd be hard put to it to make that "cause and effect". There WAS a far greater connection between poverty and violent behaviour, I recall.

** I was a very precocious 5 year old, or something.....

No, I don't think it has to with education and much as economics and upbringing. Desperate people become more violent. Yes, I realize there is a correlation between economics and education, But if you can get through high school you can learn a trade and make a good living. Unfortunately there is a section of society who generationally are told no one wants them. That isn't true, If people from anywhere are willing to work, they will be hired. 

A college teacher told me the more education you have the more choices in life u have. I beleive that. Alot of this violence is nothing but fear,  fear of no money nothing they can buy no job

I have no experience with that.

But one thing education can do is give someone a sense of future that might help them avoid making bad choices because the present is all they see.

At least that is what I have been thinking after watching a number of Homicide Hunters on cable with Lt Joe Kenda's commentary.

One persons experience does not

dictate another.
