Extremely hard to tell. I mean, you have a larger number of drug users (bigger market), number of guns and lack of successful people outside of sports and entertainment. Visible poverty in the US is definitely way beyond what you see in most of Europe and therefore more people to take advantage of.
You also have the mentality among young men that everybody wants to be their own boss and its almost a bad thing to be an employee and take orders.That mentality exists here too but its concentrated to smaller neighborhoods and theres usually a few people that "call the shots" whereas in the US i have a feeling that theres not so much leadership within the criminal world.
In the US its all about being the center of attention and the whole world revolves around you, so you must make a name for yourself one way or another.
The criminals might be more organized aswell while the street gangs in America have a history of taking pride in being ruthless and stupid.
I think this is shifting a bit in Europe as well where you in cities can see "baby gangs" as they call them in Naples, that are less focused on business than the older generation of criminals, and more into proving a name for themselves for being ruthless.
And to be honest, a big portion of people in poor urban neighborhoods in Europe are muslims and shy away from drugs to an extent.
But I think it all comes down to your number of drug users in the end.
This is a generalization of course and just my opinions so i might be way off. Let me know what you think!
