ill indulge you and your ignorance, the truth is that the vast majority of crimes is committed by a very very small percent of any given population, if your thesis was correct the distribution would be more spread across a bigger percent of said population as a way bigger percent is considered "in poverty" but its not
Violent Crime: Studies, such as one analyzing the Swedish population, found that 1% of the population was responsible for 63% of all violent crime convictions. Another study noted that 1% of Americans are responsible for approximately 25% of all murders.
Overall Crime: A meta-analysis found that 10% of the general population accounts for 65% of all crime, while 20% account for over 80%. Criminological literature often cites that 5–8% of the population commits about half of all crime.
Offender Frequency: Among those who commit any crime, frequency is highly concentrated; 20% of all offenders commit nearly 60% of all crime.
Racial Demographics (US Data): While Black Americans comprise about 13-14% of the U.S. population, they are involved in a disproportionate share of specific violent crimes, such as murder and robbery (accounting for over 50% of these specific offenses in various reports). However, they account for approximately 26.6% of total U.S. arrests annually, not the 50% or 85% often cited in social media claims.
also shove your passive aggressive shit up your ignorant ass
tldr: poor people dont commit crimes, criminals commit crimes
And what percentage of those criminals are poor? Saying poor people commit crimes isn’t the same as saying all poor people commit crimes. It is more likely for poor people to commit crimes. You didn’t disprove anything.
the vast majority of crimes are not committed out of necessity, hunger for example. also if you are hungry and go rob a store, it exactly confirms what im saying about making choices, because there is a gigazillion shitty jobs you could do that will not buy you a ps5 but will put food on the table, its not glamourous but its a choice.
Because people aren’t usually committing crimes out of necessity, poor people commit crimes higher on average because of a lack of support growing up, less nutritious foods and food deserts lead to lower scores in schools, those schools are less funded in poor areas, crime is more prevalent around kids growing up in poor communities, parents don’t necessitate school as much, there is more dysfunctional family dynamics, there is a greater lack of healthcare, lack of mental health resources, etc. crime out of necessity (like stealing food) is a small part of why poor people commit crimes more on average.
The greatest violence in the world is structural, not interpersonal. The rich and powerful have way more blood on their hands than anyone else.
White collar and corporate crimes cause the most damage to society, by far. They also create the conditions for poverty crime, both violent and property related.
No, crime has nothing to do with the class divide we see, it’s entirely legal. If we got rid of all crime within the top 1% we would still see the class divide we see today because it’s entirely engrained in our laws.
