No, I'm saying that the majority of people living below the poverty line were doing so because of segregation, which in turn was also suppressing the ratio of crime to number of people living under the poverty line.
i.e. Normally, lots of people living in poverty means lots of crime, but because many of the people living in poverty were doing so because they were living under segregation, crime was not as high as you would expect.
