The Link between Poverty and Crime

what are the encountered difficulties of individuals belonging on the lower social class?

• Lower-income people are far more likely than higher-income people to have experienced economic hardship in the previous year, such as cutting back on household expenditure in general, having trouble paying for rent, mortgages, medical care, or bills in general, or being laid off or losing their job. Poverty, homelessness, and unemployment characterize the lower class. Medical care, proper housing and food, acceptable clothing, safety, and vocational training are all issues that this class faces, despite the fact that few have completed high school.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.. but the question is, how can we deal with poverty? here are some innovative solutions to poverty.

First, I am convinced that decreasing poverty necessitates a focus on both what the government and individuals must do. A mix of responsible policies and responsible behavior is required.

Second, there are numerous things that may be done to alleviate poverty. I would say that three things should be prioritized: obtaining a solid education, not having children before marrying, and working full-time. People should be expected to make genuine efforts to follow each of these rules. When they do, the government should reward them by ensuring that people who follow the rules are not impoverished.

Third, providing very high-quality early education to all children from low-income households would be one of the most effective measures we could put in place to ensure that everyone gets a good education. Many people feel that preschool education only has an impact on young children. Indeed, data from both neuroscience and properly conducted program assessments suggests that preschool experiences have long-term impacts and may be the most cost-effective approach to ensure that more children succeed in K-12, graduate from high school, attend college, and earn more as adults. The federal government might help states achieve this goal by providing matching funds to states that invest in high-quality early education for low-income children.

Fourth, far too many of our teenagers and young people are marrying and having children before they are ready to be excellent parents. The solution to this problem, in my opinion, lies as much in the larger culture—what parents, the media, church organizations, and other critical adults say and do—as it does in any change in government policy. However, the government can assist by providing resources to nongovernmental organizations fighting this battle, ensuring that its own policies do not inadvertently encourage childbearing outside of marriage, and supporting programs that have had some success in reducing early, out-of-wedlock childbearing.
