Dunno about the Arabic ethnics, but the local white trash and gypsies do well enough to commit much violent crime, it's mainly burglary / pickpocketing / minor crime offenses.

Even those who haven't worked for years or never worked can still get their minimal amount of money to spend on gaming / booze through the social system, most of them don't pay the rent / don't own a car or have any regular life expenses - that makes it easier too.

So they really have no motivation to work but they also won't risk hijacking someone because they're fine, no access to guns helps to prevent this extremely well too, these are no tough thugs.
