      1/ I demolished @AlexNowrasteh on this claim a year ago. I guess it's time to do it again. >>>https://twitter.com/KBrookesCato/status/1316403121833357312 …

      2/ First, note the headline "less likely to COMMIT crimes". But then read the data. It doesn't show that at all. It shows that they're less likely to be INCARCERATED. This could be due to not committing crimes ... or it could be due to fleeing over the border, or disappearing

      3/ In general, the higher the socioeconomic status of someone, the more likely they are to serve their jail time. An exec who commits a white collar crime wants to do his 4 yrs and get it over with and back to his life. He's not going to live under assumed identity for 40 yrs

      4/ Nor is he going to skip out for some de facto stateless place like Mexico or Somalia and disappear. Alex's figures don't correct for SES.

          7/ lower wages means that their opportunity cost vs doing crimes drops. A factory worker making $25/hr isn't going to steal stereos. If he's knocked down to pizza delivery at $9/hr, he might.
