How does crime and poverty affect society?

Answer:
They are inversely related. If people have jobs, then the crime rate goes down. But if people don't have jobs, the crime rate is higher. The reason because the criminals also have families they have to support but if they can't find a job they need money somehow and they do it illegally so that's about it.
