I have looked. The really interesting thing is that there are no studies on it. So I would like to know where you got your figures from.

Overall crime is related to many things - not only socio economic conditions. I've lived with very, very poor people, and they are not criminals.

In addition, everyone hear seems to be focused on murder. I said 'crime' not murder.

Not having enough money to eat is not an excuse for criminal activity.
