I would add to that lack of opportunities.

That’s an equal opportunity, rich or poor. All humans live in a society. All humans have frailties. And all humans have choices … at least humans in the US do.

What creates criminals?

Laws…

Good point. Although the laws do not force people to break them. That’s an individual choice.

What I’m talking about is the lack of good paying blue collar jobs. I respectfully disagree you regarding equal opportunities for rich and poor

No education, no examples early in one’s life of a good work ethic and making responsible decisions…creates poor decision making…that leads in poverty…that results in crime.
