Reply to comment by ManhattanRailfan in Study shows those released under NY's bail reform laws are less likely to get rearrested by mowotlarx

The group in NYC with the highest poverty rate has the lowest crime rate.

Poverty absolutely exacerbates crime, but to claim that it is the overwhelming cause of crime in NYC is not supported by the evidence at all. Actual statistics would suggest a very different story.

And like I said in my reply to your other comment, this data doesn't say what you claim it does, and isn't even valid in the first place.
