Sidebar: Considering the fact that crime has gone down (http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/gazette/2...istics-fbi.php) , but poverty has gone up (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/pover...4/pov04hi.html), is it safe to say the poor aren't the ones committing the most crimes?
I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at, but this is already proven and it's not up for conjecture... Levitt talks about it in Freakonomics.
