We should stop associating crimes and poverty.
Being poor is not a crime.
The 99% of people in poverty who never commits any crimes don't deserve this kind of stigma. It's time to stop perpetuating that.

Never said otherwise, but poverty is by far the largest cause of crime because it also causes all sorts of other societal issues that cause crime. Homelessness, mental health issues, low-quality education, overpolicing, etc.
