that presupposes many factors to come to that conclusion That necessity is the the driver of crime. That systemic discrimination is the driver of necessity. The part I think this fails is that these factors are not sufficient for crime. Not everyone who is poor becomes a criminal. In fact, it is an incredibly poor predictor by the numbers. A poor person might be more likely than a rich one to commit grand theft, but this ignores the the fact that 99.99% of poor people don't commit grand theft. Overall, I think overstating the power of the correlation does a great disservice to all the poor people who are not criminals.
