Very true. However it does not explain this entirely, otherwise Native Americans, who have an even higher poverty rate than African Americans would show the same disproportionate rate of criminal conduct.

I realize this is a touchy subject, but we're all adults here. Also, no one is using race as a determinant, no one here thinks any ethnicity is genetically predisposed towards criminality.
