Joseph, the rate in the Chareidi community is about the same if not higher. Until recently there was no place for Chareidi guys who are not built for all day learning . What happened was that street groups known as the “Shabab Chareidi” (shabab are Arab boys who commit relatively low-lקvel acts against Israel – it is related to the Hebrew שובב). When I lived in Bnei Beraq I personally witnessed a brawl of leil Shabbat (!) between a group of these kids and the “modesty police”.
