There's a good reason for that: life is cheap among poor people and poor countries because they have little to lose and a lot to gain. The payoff is asymmetric for violence, so it's a rational trade.
That is to say, poor people don't value living as much as rich people do. They're more likely to engage in behaviour that endangers their own life and the lives of others.
