People in impoverished areas have also successfully reduced crime rates by using community-based initiatives. See Baltimore, for instance.
"Committing crimes" isn't some inherent quality of being poor, so writing people a pass for screwing others over just because that person was poor is an asinine take.
Especially if you're gonna try to argue that disproportionally policing poorer areas is an injustice with no evident/rational basis.
