Young Latino gangs are catching up though in a lot of cities as well.
Bad economy with no opportunity for young people (for instance, an 18 year old at one time could work in a bar and make really good tip money...but not since the drinking age changed to 21 a few decades back) leads to young blacks and Latinos (who are the highest unemployed) joining gangs and that leads to all that violence.
Chicago and toronto are about the same size, (2.6 to 2.7 million)

that logic says toronto should have a murder rate of 200 for the year....yet chicago's is 2 1/2 times that
