Yes. It has an impact. It's a piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately, making excuses that strip the criminal of responsibility and foist blame on a nameless spectre merely encourage the behavior.
[Reply]If only Governments put as much effort into solving poverty and the cause of crimes as much as they did into going to war. Or other useless issues
There's been a war on poverty in the US since the 60's. It's been a miserable failure because poverty cannot be cured by giving people money.
[Reply]It's no secret that poverty causes a HUGE increase in crime. So the logic would be to solve the problem of poverty wouldn't it? Or at least try help to solve it. Which is why I'm so anti-conservative. Instead of trying to stem the cause of the problem, they're far more likely to let the problem continue and then try to stop the action caused by the problem. Probably because it gives them something to complain about. If you have a leak in the roof do you just put a bucket under it each time it rains and then bitch about the dripping or do you attempt to find the leak and clog it.
Yes. Poverty causes crime. Wealth does not cure it.
My wife is hotter than your wife.
What do you base this statement on? I am unaware of any peer reviewed rigorously defended study that indicates wealth does not cure crime.
