What does homogeneity have to do with it?
1 comments

Homogeneous societies may have different rates of crime or at least different issues. For example in the US there is historic and systemic racism that affects the incarceration issue. Which isn't to say profiteering from incarceration is the answer. Rather that things which work in more cohesive societies may not directly transfer to more heterogeneous ones.
