I've lived in Thailand for the past 7 months.. Many people make $100 per month or less, while many others drive mercede's and bmw's... Despite this fact, crime is not rampant here. Why is that?
[/ QUOTE ]Comparing percentages across the two populations, would you say that Thais are, generaly, more religious than Americans?

I really don't know.. I think its like 98% are buddhist.
[/ QUOTE ]I am only trying to guess, amateurishly, some cultural factor which would account for the difference between Americans and Thais in crime figures. It could be the difference in the religions -- or in religiosity.
It's clearly a cultural factor (as opposed to a biological one) but what is it, you think?
