No you're right, it will be a incessant process of recognizing or discovering new correlates, addressing those, only to see crime persist despite our efforts. This is very likely a fight worth fighting (depending on what must be sacrificed), but it will never yield a solution to America's crime problem.

There will always be crime. Period.

What we're striving for as an industrialized nation is to not have such a high crime rate (as compared to other industrialized nations). And we should focus on crimes beyond those committed by the lower socioeconomic status.

You're exactly right we should. And addressing the correlates of that category of crime will be an even more frustrating task, I think.
