Sociology: Should The Government Neutralize The Dangerous Poor?

Final exam SOSC 1375
1. The dangerous poor is about a person or a group in society who leave in poverty. Marcus Aurelius said “poverty is the mother of crime”. This means that people who commit the crime are in poverty and that what motivates them to break the law.
