Rural areas do not have the supports to deal with their own problems.[/quote]

In absolute numbers, sure, because there are less people.  But per capita, rural areas are as, if not more, violent than cities. And rural areas have plenty of poverty, drug use, domestic violence, unemployment, etc.  Rural poverty is really just a different animal from urban poverty.  [/quote]
The violence in rural areas isn’t generally stranger violence though. It generally involves people that know each other, that to me is what makes the rural violence rates vs urban violence rates and apples to oranges comparison. [/quote]

Most violence in urban areas is also between people who know each other: https://www.statista.com/statistics/195327/murder-in-the-us-by-relationship-of-victim-to-offender/[/quote]
