Exactly!  And there's more more similarity that I think is even more
important:  both groups are generally poor and immobile (socially).

My belief is that these crimes are rooted in the problems with society.
I think a lot of people see crime as a problem in society.  It's kind of
like going to the doctor with a sore throat:  the obvious problem is
that you have a sore throat, but if all the doctor does is give you some
anti-biotic, you might not cure the problem.  It could be that there's
another cause for the problem and that the problem is just a symptom.
