These are 100% correlated: with increased levels of poverty, many young adults find themselves without a job or legal ways for improving their lives and their families'. They then resort to a life of crime, from pick-pocketing to car stealing to in many cases, joining the ranks of Mexican drug cartels and becoming mules, enforcers and hired assassins.

Poverty influences crime and violence because people with less money will steal items to stay alive and to help themselves feel socially equal. Violence is often associated because people suffering from poverty face more threats and also they are usually not as educated and so violence is okay to them.

Why do communist countries have low crime rate?

Most crime rates are based off of poverty. Wherever there is poverty there will be crime. In a capitalist country, there will always be people who are rich and those who are poor. Because of this, there will always be crimes against the rich. Since everyone in a communist country makes the same amount of money, poverty is largely absent. Also since everyone has the same standard of living, the people tend to relate and will also bond together, hence the term "comrades." No poverty and more bonding means less crime. It's mostly because of the fact there is no poverty that there is less crime. There's that and the fact that the communist army has guns.
