Use your google machine man, the data is out there.
I did a google search for "does poverty cause crime" and just scanning the results it seems like 5 out of 6 links will bring you to some document that ultimately concludes "yes".
On the other side, the 1 out of 6 seem to be flimsy at best. One in particular is an opinion piece in the National Review where a guy pretty much just says "I know that if I were poor, I wouldn't commit a crime", and that's his evidence.
