Content: Displaced people, those who are suffering as a result of social inequality and economic Disparity, may become unruly and turn to a life of crime and violence. That there is a connection between social and economic Disparity on one hand and incidence of crime on the other, is already indicated by many sociological and economic studies. People naturally want to feed their families, send their children to school, provide medical needs for themselves and their families. Lack of benefits and employment opportunities due to social and economic Disparity may lead people to seek other means of providing those necessities. A life of crime, or doing criminal activities, may attract other individuals, for other avenues for providing financial and material needs for their families may be closed to them. Social Unrest
Other people or sectors victimized by various forms of Disparity may agitate for reform, equality political, legal, and economic rights, as well as protection from discrimination. In most cases these campaigns are peaceful and within the bounds of the law. Humanity has made great strides in advancing reforms and rights through various peaceful, political, and legal means. There were some instances, however, where campaigning for reforms against Disparity may result in social unrest that may affect societies and communities at large. Since social and economic Disparity, more often than not, is maintained by the status quo, reforms are not that easily obtained.
