The study doesn’t seem to do any calculations regarding socioeconomic statuses? I doubt a wealthy highly-educated man from Kentucky would have similar “following violence” if he moved to Wisconsin or whatever the examples were… or someone moving for a long-term job offer… but rather people from worse socioeconomic backgrounds moving to a bigger city without many promises and then getting caught up in more shit.
It’s the same result regardless, but it doesn’t feel like it’s only because of some macho-culture thing.
While I agree with you to some extent, I would also argue that someone who grows up in a culture where many disputes are “solved” with violence, or where a noticable percentage of people don’t have the emotional maturity to handle their anger without physical expression, is also likely to struggle with those issues when they move away from that culture. Socioeconomic class is not a replacement for emotional maturity, it simply gives one some more leeway before some types of pressure apply - and they’re often replaced with other types of pressure.
You are sorta right but missing the idea of inheritance. A man in Kentucky with enough resources to move probably didn’t live in a trailer park or likely didn’t go to public school. He was raised with a tutor and in “that house” in the town.
Moving doesn’t make you a better person but if you have the means your child is not growing up in that culture, maybe Kentucky but not in a trailer…

Probably a statistically insignificant number of people fall under that definition, but I see your point.
