Safety In Recessionary Times

Geraldine Sealey wrote a thought provoking article called, "Will Recession Make Cities Dangerous Again?". This article brings up some common sense that people desperate to make a living will resort to unlawful means to obtain them. The writer notes that violence has gone up, but other reports have shown crime going down for the year. Even though the data seems to be conflicting, this year is not over yet so the data has not yet been complete, which may be the descrepancy between years. There is still no confirmation to whether this has corelation to unemployment, but there is a good chance to find a link.
