Do you believe that people often living in poor areas are mostly likely to commit a crime all the time? In history class, my teacher said no and i totally agree. Crimes can happen anywhere in the US. it dosent always have to be a poor area like the ghetto and stuff..it dosent matter..what do you guys think? I think of this really confusing too

Statistically, poor people commit more crimes than rich people.
It makes sense when you think about it... why would you commit a crime when you can get what you want legally? If you don't believe me, go walk for an hour in Greenwich, Connecticut, the richest suburb of NYC. Then take a taxi and go walk in Harlem or the inner city of NYC for an hour. Tell me where you feel safer. |

Tell me where you feel safer.  i agree. poor people cant get what they want that easily becuz of the fact they are poor and economically challenged and thus they do whatever it takes to enjoy the things that rich people have, if it means commiting a crime to get it. |
