we all know that pverty contributes to crime but culture contributes more so. my father's family was dirt poor when he were young but his family had a strong work ethic and never went on welfare. his father just worked longer and harder and eventually put all 4 kids through college. another thing,both his parents stayed together and had kids after they were married.Italians were very poor in the 1950's and even the 1960's but they were hard workers and yet their neighborhoods were very safe.its all about the culture/.
