Poor people aren't 100% because of bad luck or things of that nature.

Actually, poverty and criminality are both products of low intelligence, poor impulse control, and lack of comprehension of consequences of one's actions. For instance, set a hyena free in New York City. It would not learn to read or write, would not obey the teacher, would not be able to hold down a job, and would often attack people, and would use its sharp teeth and claws to take whatever it wants. So, the hyena would be both poor, and rely on crime to survive.
