Difficult life conditions and low education level are neither something good nor bad. It doesn't make a being good or bad.
People might easily relate crimes and criminals with those who live in difficult life conditions or have low education level.
There are people might use the difficult life conditions and low education level as an excuse to commit crimes or immoral conducts.
But, difficult life conditions and low education level don't make anyone a bad being or a criminal, to commit crimes or immoral conducts.
Those who might have difficult life conditions or low education level, but are endowed with integrity, self-respect and self-control, they strive diligently to improve oneself and one's life condition, through right livelihood, morally and rightfully.
There are those who might have easier life conditions and higher education level than many others are not necessarily be free from greed or won't be committing crimes and immoral conducts. Out of greed, they would lie, cheat, steal and harm other beings. Out of pride and arrogance, there are those who believe they are more superior than other beings would discriminate and abuse other beings whom they believe are inferior than them.
One must be endowed with integrity, self-respect and self-control, so that one won't be over-powered by greed to commit crimes or immoral conducts, disregard the living condition and education level that one has. One must be endowed with wisdom and compassion being free from ignorance and egoism, to be free from pride and arrogance, discrimination and abuse.
There's no superiority or inferiority. All are merely composition of elements and will decompose into elements. All are impermanent and selfless.
Those who are free, are not determined by any life conditions or education levels, and they don't need to plead any recognition or acknowledgement from any other beings, to be 'somebody' who needs recognition or acknowledgement.
And this is nothing to do with religion or spirituality.
May all be free.
