    Poverty of

    Crime
    INTRODUCTON

    Poverty of crime can be understood as a concept referring to the


    lack of wealth or opportunities for creative endeavors within the
    context of criminality. It may be seen as a condition where people
    in poverty are compelled to commit crimes due to a lack of legal
    means to survive or fulfill their needs.
    CAUSES OF ROOT POVERTY
    OF CRIME
    Economic Inequality

    Disparities in income and wealth


    distribution can lead to a lack of access to
    basic needs and opportunities, pushing
    individuals towards crime as a means of
    survival or to address perceived injustices.
    Lack of Education

    Limited access to quality education can


    perpetuate poverty and increase the likelihood
    of involvement in criminal activities due to
    limited employment opportunities.
    Unemployment and Underemployment

    High levels of unemployment and


    underemployment can lead to economic
    instability and desperation, increasing the
    likelihood of individuals engaging in
    criminal activities.
    Social Exclusion

    Marginalized communities often face


    discrimination and lack access to resources
    and opportunities, increasing the likelihood
    of poverty and involvement in criminal
    activities.
    Family and Community Dynamics

    Dysfunctional family environments, lack of


    parental guidance, and exposure to
    violence can contribute to a cycle of
    poverty and crime.
    Drug Abuse and Mental Health Issues

    Substance abuse and mental health problems


    are often linked to poverty and can
    contribute to criminal behavior.
    Systemic Injustice
    Inequities in the criminal justice system,
    such as racial profiling and harsh
    sentencing, can perpetuate poverty and lead
    to a cycle of crime.
