Don ' t feel so bad . The deals are mostly shit anyway , judging by how grumpy HUKD appears todayyesterday . <| sep |> She ' s copying that Reese Witherspoon movie right ? <| sep |> We require steady and recent activity . <| sep |> OK , in response 1 . This matters on an emotional level , but if you are studying and analysing it doesn ' t matter as we ' re not trying to prevent crime in this part of the study , we ' re trying to find the causes . Attacking the idea that looking for the cause is irrelevant because the crime has already happened is antiintellectualism . You have to detach to analyse . 2 . We ' ve found the common factor , which is low income , and then you ' ve gone but what is the common factor ? It ' s low income . Low income is caused by loads of thing , all of which require different approaches . Maybe bad childhood , maybe discrimination , ghettoisation or lack of opportunity . In any case the common factor is income , not race . Because it ' s overwhelmingly the poor that commit crime , not people of a nonwhite ethnicity . That majority of people of nonwhite ethnicity don ' t commit crime , the overwhelming majority of crime is committed by the poor . This isn ' t because the poor are bad or evil , but because they ' re driven into desperate circumstances . Crime is a sign of people giving up on the idea of a society , it is rarely malicious .
