Or perhaps they are poor because they are violent and incapable of participating in society. This is the problem with correlation "studies". They tell you nothing about the cause.
Exactly. Which is why I said you can point to race, but you can just as easily point to socioeconomics.

Does crime cause poverty, or does poverty result from crime?
