Oh, I agree with you 100% that poverty leads to crime. I have seen it first hand since I grew up in a working class neighborhood. Some of the kids that were old enough would go out and steal car radios, hacksaw the chain off at the mall to rip off someone's expensive BMX bike. Oh yeah. Its worst in some of the poorer neighborhood like South Central. Yep, anything that isn't nailed down, doors shout and locked, its gone and don't turn your back on 'em.
