Discuss the relationship between crime and social class and the economy. Explain each of the views associated with this relationship
What will be an ideal response?
Research shows that aggregate crime rates and aggregate unemployment rates are not strongly related. Sometimes the crime rates rise during periods of economic prosperity and sometimes they decline. There are four views on this relationship. The first view argues that when the economy is bad, crime rates will be higher. The second suggests that a good economy will result in higher crime rates. Third is the view that a bad economy will lower the crime rate. The last view suggests that the crime rate and the economy are not related.
