Are you saying that during the Great Depression more whites were in poverty than blacks (talking percentages here)? I’m no expert on the Great Depression, but I doubt if that is true.

No, I’m not talking percentages. I’m saying that even though there were great numbers of whites (AND blacks) reduced to poverty during the GD, that fact did not correlate to significantly higher crime rates. The point I’m trying to make is that poverty is not, in and of itself, a significant causative factor in crime rates.
