Usually the answer is poverty

Poor ppl are not more predisposed to commit crimes.

People who rob, steal and murder for money are typically not trying to simply put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads. They want massive wealth and they want it fast. Either that or they are drug addicts. It's pure greed and/or lust.

There are organized gangs in wealthy socialist countries like Sweden and Canada where the basic necessities of life are secure. What does that tell you?

Now, of course being surrounded by obscene wealth, especially if you're poor relatively speaking, might create feelings of envy, anger, a sense that you deserve more etc which can lead you to take extreme measures in order to obtain that wealth. In other words there might be a correlation between poverty/inequality and crime, but not a causal link.

I know more poor people who have sense than those who are violent. These nikkas push right-wing talking points themselves.

Indeed breh. Saying ppl act immorally just by virtue of being poor is disrespectful to anyone who lives in poverty. They act like the sociopaths who kill ppl over bags of weed are doing it because they need food and shelter. The idiots who do home invasions and car jackings are not trying to feed their kids.

Guys like @The Hon. Stringer Bell are delusional.

Also, if poverty is a good predictor for crimes, then maybe the police are justified in policing poor areas more :troll:

This is the logical conclusion to that line of reasoning.

They youth themselves mention lack of guidance as the number one reason to violence. Their parents basically abandoned them. And the children know its not due to "mama working a million hours a week". People have children and don't know, or dont care to raise them.
