Abstract:
According to one theory, unemployment tends to enhance the anomie among the unemployed, which is linked to criminal conduct, as well as the propensity for people to turn to crime in order to survive financially. The research under examination either largely focused on establishing how unemployment affects crime or saw it as one factor among many that might have a role. The study investigated unemployment rates with recorded crime rates for different areas at the same time (cross-sectional studies) or from the same area for different years. The studies were primarily aggregate or ecological (time-series studies). We conclude that the null hypothesis is invalid based on the data and the Jarque-Bera assessment of significance levels, where the Kurtosis value (K) (0.789) is greater than 0.05 at 95% confidence interval and conclude that the disturbance terms are not normally distributed and hence the summation of the probability a normal curve is not equal to one. According to the research, crime typically increases when unemployment is low and many crimes are committed by employed people and young people, proving that unemployment is not a significant determinant of crime. Although it appears that crime and unemployment are connected in a complex way with other aspects of economic disadvantage or social deprivation, there is still some evidence that there is a correlation between the two. It doesn't seem realistic that more aggregate research would help to make the problems clearer. Yet, these investigations are scarce and still in their early stages. Individual investigations, on the other hand, are more promising. Monitoring the criminal pasts and job backgrounds of a variety of people could generate some important findings.
