Exactly this. And not even all low SES folks, but particularly those with generational poverty are high risk.
Not passing judgment on that either, but I think the way to break that cycle is through high quality education combined with better security measures. The mental math is different for different people, when you believe that the risk of punishment for committing a crime is statistically low and the rewards are high (which will vary depending on your economic conditions). So make the rewards seem low by raising their economic conditions, and make the risk of punishment higher.
