Introduction
Poverty and crime have long been interconnected social issues that have plagued societies around the world. The relationship between poverty and crime rates has been a topic of interest for researchers and policymakers for decades. Studies have shown that individuals living in poverty are more likely to engage in criminal activities due to a lack of resources, opportunities, and support systems. Understanding the impact of poverty on crime rates is crucial for developing effective strategies to address these issues and create safer communities.

Project Research Overview
The impact of poverty on crime rates is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires a comprehensive understanding of the underlying factors at play. This project aims to investigate the relationship between poverty and crime rates, exploring the various mechanisms through which poverty influences criminal behavior. By conducting a thorough literature review, analyzing empirical data, and discussing research findings, this study seeks to shed light on the impact of poverty on crime rates and provide insights for policymakers and practitioners.
Through a systematic research methodology, this project will examine existing theories and empirical studies on poverty and crime, identify key factors influencing the link between these two phenomena, and explore potential interventions to address crime in impoverished communities. By critically analyzing research findings and addressing limitations in the current literature, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on poverty and crime rates and offer practical recommendations for future research and policy development.
Ultimately, the goal of this project is to enhance our understanding of the complex relationship between poverty and crime rates and to inform evidence-based strategies for reducing crime and improving the well-being of individuals living in poverty. By examining the impact of poverty on different types of crime, identifying effective interventions, and discussing implications for policy and practice, this study seeks to advance our knowledge of this important social issue and promote positive social change.
