Buchbinder A on 11 Jan 11I like how it shows that poverty could be a factor of crim but it is not alway that way.

Allen C on 12 Jan 11:o I didn't know that it was more likely for a poor child to commit a crime, but that sounds like something that would happen if you really need something to live, like food or clean water.

Fischbach J on 13 Jan 11This article is explaining that crime is evident in places that are high in poverty. It also states tat there are many others factors of poverty that lead to other things rather then just crime. They are also explaining how high unemployment leads to smaller crimes like stealing. I think that this is sometimes true, but that not all people in poverty steal to get food. There are other ways to get food legally.

Mendez V on 14 Jan 11I really liked this article because i thought it was really interesting how people in poverty are so desperate to get fod that they would do anything to get it even steal it. That's usuallt why crime goes up because of people in poverty.

Goldblum J on 14 Jan 11I'm very surprised how densly populated areas are the poorest. I was looking more into how Poverty relates into crime this whole time, but with everything i saw, I didn't know that! It just kind of blew me away!
