Which is why I said you can point to race, but you can just as easily point to socioeconomics.

Right. The correlation looks pretty clear. But it's the causation that's the issue.

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

I'd reckon that a violent, person with social and anger issues isn't going to be successful at life--regardless of race, color, or religion. But that's just a guess. None of hte data in this thread help draw a conclusion either way.
