> Poor areas dont just "already receive all of those things." Yes they do, they're just not taken full advantage of. >Those things do stop people from committing crimes. Evidence shows they do now. > If you ever had to talk to a person in a situation where crime is the only means of accessing money, the means of survival in this society, maybe your opinion would change. Crime is not the only means for accessing money, they may feel it is, but again there is no empirical link between poverty and crime, however there may be a link between crime and poverty. That is to say people may be impoverished because they are criminal. In any case, there is no excuse for committing a crime especially when there are so many social institutions in place for you. There is a link to dense urban populations and crime however. But I think researchers just use that as a code word for black people as the same results can't be found in majority white areas.
Really show us a paper. I will apply my it is probably racism to say that the over policing and incarceration of black folks leads to more poverty.no empirical link between poverty and crime, however there may be a link between crime and poverty.
I already posted a paper. And are black neighborhoods over policed or are they policed because blacks are more criminal? Criminologists will be the first to tell you that blacks are simply more criminal. http://www.examiner.com/article/federal-statistics-of-black-on-white-violence-with-links-and-mathematical-extrapolation-formulas http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/time-young-black-men-murder-14-times-more-than-young-white-men/ http://www.wnd.com/2001/03/8380/ Are federal statistics made up because of racism?
Are any of your actions because of racism? If so why not theirs?
