Poverty does not create as much crime as crime creates poverty!?

Answer 1

poverty creates crime...it's been proven. That is why crime rates in poor urban communities are typically through the roof especially compared to other, more affluent communities. It starts off with a poor community which can't afford proper education...the children of that community grow up thinking it is impossible to make anything of their lives and so they turn to gangs or street crime to try and find their "calling." this increases the amount of crime dramatically.

Answer 2

I have heard the same theory, and my deduction is that there is another preface to the statement. Lack of education creates crime creates poverty. Because there are a few criminals, the smart ones apparently, that do not fall into the poverty catagory. But the uneducated who live in poverty continue their criminal ways and are just not smart enough to see that it doesn't seem to be getting them anywhere.

Answer 3

Poverty creates more crime.

Answer 4

I would agree that crime creates more poverty than poverty creating crime.

Answer 5

I do not agree with that statement, unless its a question in a form of a statement. Povery creates crime, if there was no poverty there would be no excuse for crime

Answer 6

no i think poverty lead to the crime.when the number of people who are not able to earn their bread are more they think in a criminal way in order to satisfy their needs.in a way crime also creates poverty bcoz the criminals use the resourses against the mankind.they try to destroy the comforts/things made for the use or livelihood of mankind.both are correct but i think poverty is the main cause of crime

Answer 7

I don't think money eliminates crime...look at all the white collar criminals, pedophiles, etc. I think it is the break down of the family, and lack of shame for committing crime in society. The consequences of crime are less severe, therefore people have less of a reason NOT to commit crimes.

Answer 8

It goes both ways; however, bad sentence structure comes from the crime of not studying your English!! lol

Answer 9

You are absolutely right.To increase the revenue,Govt.increase tax rate.But with the increase in tax rate,the tax evasion increase.the tax evesion is possible with the involvement of officers. So,with the increase in tax rate,corruption increases, With the increase in corruption,development does not take place.Due to non development,unemployment will increase.the unemployment generate poverty.Poverty generate crime, prostitution etc.Govt.has to change the corrupt systems.
