There was a scientific paper that basically called violence a contagious disease, and the reason that they were able to depict it as such is because if you're born in an area of heavy violence, there's almost no way to avoid it. You're either being a target or targeting somebody because you're being recruited to gangs, and you might have no choice because you have no family [or] you have no money. So, when you're in those areas, it's a contagious disease, and it's probably going to get to you.
