Works for some crime, but socioeconomic status is clearly only the reason for a small amount of crime because there are a lot of poor people who have never committed a crime in their life. The socioeconomic status is either one factor among many or not a factor at all depending on the crime and individual.

It's a very complex issue involving many things, making a socially positive human is like getting a car running - taking out the spark plug will stop it ruining but that doesn't mean that fuel, air pump, etc aren't needed.

Economics isn't the only important factor but it's absolutely one of them.
