If they are so nuts they will attack anyone regardless, it's a whole new game. I think the ratio matters, too. A high ratio of angry, aggressive people is very different than a low one. Have you ever heard about housing projects that are so dangerous the cops don't want to go there in the daytime, and won't go there at night? The residents themselves have to function towards keeping the peace. If the residents support the violence, then the ratio of angry, aggressive people is just too high to treat it as a situation for beat cops and social workers. In the real world, by which I mean functioning civil society, the judges lock these characters up for as long as possible, just to get them away from the rest of the population. If they're crazy, into the mental institution, if not, prison. It's horrible, yes, but if you have a better idea, let's hear it. Eventually most of them outgrow aggressiveness as they get older, and the testosterone levels drop.
