Well, how bad is it living near the favelas in Brazil, say in Rio De Janeiro? From what I've heard, the location in "City of God" isn't even a "real" favela, and yet it breeds that kind of psychopathy and violence? The drug trade cannot flourish without a large contingent of users/addicts, and most addicts can't hold down a job to finance their "habit." That's one of the motivating factors for many to turn to violent crime like break-ins and robbery to finance their "lifestyle."
