Mainstream sociological theory of crime

1.- Read the following article on the working poor in America: http://www.workingpoorfamilies.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Spring-2018_WPFP-Policy-Brief.pdf

2.- Pick a mainstream sociological theory of crime and examine the relationship between poverty and crime. What does the theory say is the cause of crime specifically? How is poverty related? What would the theory say about individuals categorized as working poor (i.e., Are they at an increased risk of committing crime? Why? What types of crime might they commit? Etc.). What types of programs are needed to improve the plight of the working poor? Would such programs reduce crime and delinquency? Why or why not?
