I strongly suspect that the truth is not that poverty causes crime, but that modern attitudes toward poverty feed a sense of entitlement and victimhood, which rots the character and causes crime.
A society that could prove this is nowhere to be found, for in all places stricken by proverty, there is a deafening chorus of liberals preaching entitlement and victimhood to the poor. Perhaps a study could be done of the tendency to crime of poor, but conservative people.
