The relationship between Crime and less fortunate people cannot be underestimated, it may just be the way media has conditioned us to characterize what a criminal looks like and how they live their lives. There are many low income cities and crime rates are widespread across America. One may say that people with low income have nothing to lose when they commit crimes or depressed and desperate to the point that they will commit crimes for the profit of money. Even though crime is committed at all walks of life, one can still pose a question to know if crime is more likely to be committed by people with low income that those with high income.

From the regression table above when all variables are held constant crime rate in United State will still increase by 2397.27 for each unit increase in population, since p-value=0.13>0.05 then we say that this is not statistically significant. Since p-value=0.192>0.05 we can conclude than low income does not has statistically significant impact on crime rate increase in United State, but for each unit increase in low income there will be 2806.11 increase in crime rate in the United State.
Since p-value=0.92>0.05 we can conclude than middle income does not has statistically significant impact on crime rate increase in United State, but for each unit increase in low income there will be 218.92 increase in crime rate in the United State.
Then we conclude that although low income does not have statistical significant effect on crime rate but the regression coefficient shows that low income has high impact on crime rate.

In accordance with this most the analysis shows that none of the variables are statistically significant which makes the result go in line with previous literatures. In contrary, both of the hold backs can still be at least addressed using panel data, however this strategy has been relatively not always available (1996). These demographic variables tends to change slowly over time, so there is typically relatively little inside jurisdiction variation available to deal with. The research results states otherwise and this means there is no change of trend in crime rate over time the trend tend to follow the same pattern as the bar chart shows that there is high crime rate from lower citizens over
