Don't agree. If I'm hungry and I can't afford to buy the bread in front of me, and I'm desperate enough and see an opportunity, I will steal it. The causal chain is: poverty -> hunger -> desperation -> opportunity -> crime

I have heard @jordanbpeterson say the same thing. U could put any successful person in a poor neighbourhood he/she would lift themselves out Unfortunately IQ and Parenting Techniques lock people in to bad habits creating crime exceptions 2 the rule entrepreneurs drug dealers

True. Motivation & Morality are both variables in this chain. I used hunger as the motivator, but you could substitute almost anything ("Maslow's needs"). Morality I replaced with desperation, because at some point morality will become compromised if the need is great enough.

True wit ur statement ina broad sense. I wld drink my own piss in a 127 hours situation Poor ie living in which is great relative 2 the doesnt fit desperate on a worldly scale Example If hunger is the variable Hungry/crime correlation would add up every time ie Africa

If the standard of morality is low enough, then yes, the correlation of hunger to crime would be high.

Nice talking with u
