Bias indicates prejudice. It's central to every modern system of law to avoid prejudice.
> Poverty is correlated with criminal activity
Men with non-receding hairlines (no signs of baldness) are also correlated with criminal activity. It doesn't mean that they should be treated any differently by the justice system. If a person should be punished for a crime then they should be punished for the crime, not for their socio-economic background.
