They surely are in our retarded culture, where there are no other values extolled anymore. Never the less they aren't more prone to crime. That's a leftist myth to explain away the shitholes they create.Poor people are usually not materialistic.
Now that is really the dumbest take i've read in a while. My family and i have been on the brink of poverty in my early lives and never ever it has been even brought up that we should start doing something illegal to get by. The same with everyone i know. The same with absolute majority of people in civilized cultures. In places not inhabited by troglodytes crime is rare and usually committed by people with sociopathic/psychopatic inclination and/or who have been swayed by people already in the criminal circles.Are you really trying to argue the fact that there are higher chances or violent crimes when economy is struggling, people can't afford food for their families and hard times in general.
Even you yourself would be forced to commit crime in such situations. You are only thinking in terms of robbing rich people.
Also poor guy wanting food maybe would steal some food in desperation, not become a pro highwayman. Most people wouldn't even have stomach for that, let alone skills. The guys we're talking about are career gangsters, who have made a conscious choice.
