> and the most common cause of extreme poverty is white-collar crime
You lost me there. Do you mean that a) of the set of extremely poor people, most are extremely poor because they've been the direct victim of white-collar crime, or b) white-collar crime as a whole is the leading cause for extreme poverty in a society?
Both interpretations seem very wrong to me. Do you have any data to back up that assertion?

Yes, but they can also be a criminal.
Criminal is not a race. It is not a class. It is not a profession. Nobody is a criminal until they do a crime, and anyone can do a crime.
Most crimes are done by poor people in desperation at great risk. The most harmful crimes are done by rich people out of greed with very little risk.
Crime is something a person does, not who they are. When people do things, they do them for a reason. The most common reason for street crime is extreme poverty, and the most common cause of extreme poverty is white-collar crime.
