I think the point isn&#x27;t the &#x27;non-trivial&#x27; &#x27;got himself&#x2F;herself hooked on drugs&#x27; crimes, but the basic ones for those who don&#x27;t have any money (homelessness, begging, loitering, working in illegal conditions cause thats all you can get, petty theft etc.). Not every poor person is crazy hooked on drugs and committing major crimes. Most of them are just normal people who have to make difficult choices.
