It’s intuitive and true that poor homes and neighborhoods are going to house more crime. Now, is the solution to arrest them and send them to jail for long periods of time? I don’t know. Arguing that the poor aren’t more susceptible to crime is a losing battle though.

- rectang 6y ago> It’s intuitive and true that poor homes and neighborhoods are going to house more crime. I challenge your assumption. To me it seems intuitive that crimes are committed at higher rates by the socioeconomically advantaged, because they can get away with it. See for example that immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than the general population. https://www.cato.org/blog/illegal-immigrants-crime-assessing-evidence https://www.cato.org/blog/illegal-immigrants-crime-assessing...
