Would it be
more efficient to allocate resources to teach low income children to read and
write at, or above grade level than to spend millions of dollars for band-aid social
services, or incarceration?
I am not an
economist or social scientist, but I would think so. However there is so much money made off of
the generational dysfunction of the poor and low income families, the benefactors of
that dysfunction are not interested in innovative ways to improve the education
of low income students.
So the
crime, the dysfunction, the slow implosion of low income African American (Black)
Chicago neighborhoods will continue.

Chicago
The most obvious conclusion is that different parts of the city are
headed in entirely different directions, a trend that likely explains
why certain neighborhoods are as safe as Toronto and others are as scary
as Caracas.
The leading indicator is education, how far you've gone in school. With factory work largely either outsourced or automated, your chances of earning a good living vary dramatically based on whether you've graduated from college.
