This is especially for those of you that dont get it..POVERTY is the crime!! The people manifest symptoms of the deprivation.. Chronic poverty is criminogenic; the links are thick and reinforced by rigorous scholarship. In Chicagos communities, rates of violent crime correlate to poverty rates in ways that make that point irrefutable. There is little dispute that if violence prevention is the goal, reducing poverty is the most effective tactic.
