Poverty contributes to one feeling worthless and ripped-off and used-up by society. It can and sometimes does lead to domestic crime, including murder(s).
Poverty also makes for a poor environment to raise one's kids. They are far too often engendered with an "us and them" criminal mentality from an early age, and too many become involved in drugs or gangs. Many have been profiled out or zoned out of a good job or living area. Many may have records due to an early mistake and have become disenfranchised and "caught up in the system."
Poverty does contribute to desperation and desperation lends itself to sociopathy which eventually leads to criminal activity and possible psychopathy.
But, most poor people, the overwhelming majority, and it is true the world over, while they may not always be as well-educated, are very noble and good people and they are in no way criminals at all, nor do they support criminal activity.
