Correlation of Crime and Unemployment: Researchers have often debated the primary causes of criminal behavior and its correlation with economic factors. It is assumed that an unemployed person may resort to illegal methods to obtain money due to the lack of unemployment opportunities. Several studies have shown that the unemployment rate has a negative effect on increasing the crime rate. Researchers observed rates of property crime, violent crime, and motor vehicle crime to determine the potential for a correlation between crime and unemployment (Aaltonen, Macdonald, Martikainen, & Kivivuori, 2013; Kleck , G. and Chiricos, T. 2002; Sookram, S., Basdeo, M., Sumesar-Rai, K. and Saridakis, G. 2010). It has been proposed by researchers that unemployment may affect repeat and first-time offenders differently (D' Alessio, S., Stolzenberg, L., & Eitle, D. 2014) Studies show that an unemployed person may be prone to criminal behavior by promoting deviant values. Through the research, researchers hope to better understand the relationship between unemployment and crime. Subsequent studies will analyze the correlation between criminal activity and unemployment in more detail. A study conducted by Baron (2008) investigated the association between criminal behavior and unemployment. A sample of 400 (265 men and 135 women) homeless and unemployed street youth was examined (Baron, 2008). The study investigated whether unemployed respondents possessed values ​​that promoted criminal behavior and whether they committed crimes after unemployment. It is assumed that those who are unemployed will experience anger at the thought of being unemployed, becoming more prone to deviant values ​​and associating themselves with development...... middle of paper ..... . and no criminal record. Next, the correlation between unemployment and crime is observed by examining whether the motivation to commit crimes increases when an individual is unemployed. In a research article by Kleck and Chiricos (2002), county-level property crime data were observed to better understand the relationship between unemployment and crime. Unemployed people are assumed to commit more property crimes than employed people. A sample of 67 counties located in Florida was observed over a single one-year period. The study used a series of regression estimates to evaluate data for several target-specific crimes, including convenience store robberies, auto thefts, shoplifting, burglaries, thefts, of commercial stores and thefts from pharmacies (Kleck and Chiricos 2002).
