The dysfunction in those communities is caused by being generally broke.

No, it's the other way around. You can tell because many many communities now and in history have been highly functional while being broke, but every community full of criminals is broke (which is so obvious it sounds strange to even say).

This demonstrates that criminality/social dysfunction causes poverty, not the other way around.
