To some extent, but absolute poverty is a lot less determining of criminality than people think. Inequality matters, but also the perceived legitimacy of the rule systems. Multi culturalism is the breeding ground for criminality. If poor communities perceive themselves to be of a different culture to richer communities, they will be much more prone to criminality. The police, judiciary and legal system will be perceived as an alien intrusion not fair imparters of justice. We can get this effect even when rich and poor communities are of the same nationality and religion. They may speak the same language but with strong differences in dialect.
For thousands of years rich and poor lived in apartheid systems. Rich and poor often perceived themselves to be of different races. This separation of the classes was strongest in urban settings and much weaker in rural settings, where rich and poor would have greater personal interaction. Hence rural communities tend towards conservatism.
