i agree to an extent.... i dont have a point so dont read into the following, im just posting observations in hopes one of you can take it and make something with the info...
while i think an overwhelming % of prison inmates, no matter what race, come from low-income houses and areas, i also can't help but notice that 90% of ppl in thailand are dirt poor (make less than $100USD a month) and there is VERY low violent crime rate here.... now the 'environment' here is laid back and happy, as is custom here.... so maybe this counter to the 'poor ppl commit crimes mainly' theory only supports the 'people are a product of their environment' theory.....
im going to have to go with the 'people are a product of their environment' theory...

It's because they are poor. Look at the records and see how many of prison inmates come from low income families and areas.
People money, do not do the crime and have more chance of getting away with it.
