Just at a glance several of the studies seem dubious. I mean, as far as I know there are many actual hard statistics on the link between SES and crime rates and typically crime rates are much higher in the lower group.
On anecdotal experience I'm not sure I buy a strong correlation either way. Both rich and poor people can feel entitled for different reasons and it tends to be because they're assholes rather than due to having or not having money.
Of course, some crimes will be more likely for some groups than others. Rich people are more likely to do tax evasion, poor people more likely to do petty theft.
