Is poverty a justifiable excuse for crime?
Depends on the crime. For example, I would find shoplifting food justifiable, but not drug trafficking as someone else said. I would find a cancer patient on medicaid working under the table justifiable. I mean, a lot of time people with cancer cant get medical insurance anywhere else, cant afford treatment on their own working even full time, but reporting any work will forfeit the medical, but, you have have a way to pay the rent mortgage electric. Atleast they are trying to pay for some things on their own. I would find lieing about your child’s address to get them into a better school district justifiable. Most schools that are in areas of poverty are really bad.
