Same, except I am in the US. I suspect this is highly stratified by class, such that either nobody you know has been arrested or everybody you know has been arrested.
Yeah. I've (unfortunately) been in the US for the last few years. I'm at an university though, so most of my American peers come from a fairy rich (and mostly white) background. None of them have ever been arrested.
White male who grew up in Idaho here.
I have been arrested on several occasions and so have a number of my friends.
I would not consider myself poor or lower class either. Id assume your theory holds some weight, but I'd also assume it follows a lot of trends we wouldn't expect as well.
