Crime pays real well actually. But it's high risk and high reward. Also the more resources you have the more you could get away with if you prefer to go that route.

Not all crimes are equal, even bourgeois law acknowledges that.

not a crime if the law doesn't get enforced for it

Depends how you define crime
A soldier kills people but this doesn't count as "murder"

Theft is caused by poverty, but violent crime like rape and murder are the result of personal evil and cannot have any rational excuse.

The state arises from the irreconcilable nature of class antagonisms within a class-based society, specifically between owners and non-owners, who are bound to clash, but also in conflicts between one owner and another. While the capitalist's interest lies in accumulating capital, and the bourgeois state may attempt to establish a hypocritical "order" to preserve bourgeois class rule, this does not preclude individual members of the bourgeoisie from abusing their power to pursue petty, antisocial interests, even in ways the bourgeois state itself deems unacceptable. There is also the issue of bourgeois actors operating within the framework of imperialist capitalism, which keeps peripheral nations dependent on the imperialist core; viewed from this perspective, it becomes much easier to understand why such individuals might commit acts classified as crimes.

But murder is something that can easily accompany a robbery, depending on how the situation escalates. Unless you're thinking only of starving people shoplifting when you speak of "theft."

stealing a loaf of bread is different to wire fraud you picrel fucking moron they need education camps for civics in the us

>If crime is merely a function of poverty
Who claimed this? Anti-social behavior can be seen in every class but its a wider problem in lower classes due to material conditions forcing them to do it for survival.

>why do the bourgeoisie who are ultra rich commit so many crimes?
Not even close to lumpen numbers + law systems are tailored so that bourgeoisie are not convicted and can pay themselves out of trouble for anti-social behaviour.

Word play argument

Poor people who commit crimes are being conditioned to do so by conditions of poverty. Rich people who commit crimes do so because you can't be rich under capitalism without also being a shitty person.
