Same should apply to illicit drug production and selling because it has a huge impact on pertinent crime which in turn has an impact on production and job security.

Those thiefs are not poor. Its easy fast money. There are poor people but unfortunately it is usually only one person that has a job and needs to feed a family of 5 or 6 because there are children and some of the men and women are too lazy to work. So eventually some of them gets pulled in to becoming thiefs and dont want to work for a saliry.
