I’d love a source proving a causal relationship, but to answer your question strictly as asked I have to say “no, I don’t need more examples of studies examining correlations” mostly because there obviously isn’t a number that would satisfy the requirement of a proof for that assertion
> However, analyses show
that crime is not driven by poverty alone, but
rather by inequality. Countries with high
overall levels of poverty do not necessarily
have higher levels of crime. It is places with
high levels of income inequality that typically
have the highest levels of crime. Another
driver of crime is a breakdown in social
norms and values which results in, and is
worsened by, factors such as
unemployment, incomplete education, a
break down in family structures, limited
opportunities and exclusion from the formal
economy.
So I’m gonna again say no this does not prove the assertion
