There are people from ghettos who turn out ok. There are also people from affluent neighborhood who end up selling drugs or being bad seeds.
The majority of "ghetto" residents are law abiding citizens but whether they turn out "ok" depends on what resources are available.

Cheerfulgreek isn't talking about the neighborhood "ghetto" and is speaking figuratively, equating "criminality" with a "ghetto" mindset.

I see what she means, although her language would be subject for a huge debate in some professional and nonprofessional settings.
