    1. Crime varies over time and space; it's high in specific areas and low in others, usually with huge differences in wealth. This has always led experts to study why and what happens in those places where there is a concentration of crime.

    It's unquestionable that crime ranks high among the effects of poverty, and those impoverished neighborhoods or entire cities show the same problems with uneducated adults and kids that nurture more unemployment and crime, and then leading to chronic, long-lasting poverty. But to solve these issues, it's fundamental to have a more detailed and in-depth vision of the poverty cycle here, and what the precise impact of poverty on crime are in different communities and environments.

    For example it's been proved that unemployment is a bigger factor for specific types of crime than income inequality is. Low incomes on the other side tend to spur property-related crimes (burglary and all that) but reduce violence. Overall studies have shown very different effects of poverty, for different types of poverty: from income inequalities, to social exclusion and unemployment

    2. Alcohol & substance abuse, from kids in African slums to adults in the US, this is a very common self-destructing habit often taken as a way to cope with huge amounts of stress and ... well, despair;

    3. Crippling accidents due to unsafe working environments (machinery in factories or agriculture) as well as other work hazards such as lead poisoning, pesticide poisoning, bites from wild animals due to lack of proper protection;

    4. Poor housing & living conditions, a classic cause of diseases;

    5. Water and food-related diseases, simply because the poor can't always afford "safe" foods.

    There is a lot more but here is at least 5
