Only if by "tourist influx crime", you mean Memorial Weekend / black bike week. Maybe some spring breakers, but I doubt that's violent crime. Old man golfers & normal bikers likely aren't as much crime as the locals.
George Carlin *clearly* explained it to everyone years ago.
Golfers I wouldn’t expect much from obviously. I do cigar trades with a guy just outside of MB proper who always states the spring/summer college kid influx that triples the towns population. Bar fights & sex assaults go through the roof during those times, according to him anyway.
Oh? Which one if you don't mind me asking?
Opposite coast. Lived in Morro Bay for about 20yrs. While the crime wasn’t what Pismo gets hit with, due to more families & older crowd vacationing to Morro Bay & kids to Pismo. Morro Bay would get plenty of kids that tried to book Pismo too late & couldn’t find a room.
My guess was that those are mostly year round & not as heavily influenced by tourists. If I’m wrong then that was just my own misunderstanding.
Sparkleberry and North Charleston have a lot more violent crime than the Dyrtle. I just double checked and it looks like the Dyrtle overtook North Charleston, last year. And You're right about tourists bringing in a bunch of violent crime to the beach. MB is has been a transient's town for decades, so it's short term and long term tourists bringing a lot of it in, but the Pee Dee has a bunch of ultraviolent natives, too. Spartanburg is right on 85 between Charlotte and Atlanta, and and North Charleston is right on 26 right up from the harbor, both are major drug routes, so there's violence associated with that trade from transient populations as well, but like you said, there, it's mostly the natives.
There used to be a show called Alaska State Troopers, it's very eye opening about the state
Just the unique demographics. You have a significant minority population that commits crime at a significantly high rate and against that you have a majority that values law and order and is willing to have an aggressive enforcement system to maintain that. Of course you've seen the second part of that break down recently with activists taking over judicial system.
It drops off over time as people stop bothering to report it because there is no enforcement.
I should point out that the USA may have the highest number of incarcerated people in the world it is not per capita.
Isn't it near the top per capita?

It is, which really weirds me out.
