On the other hand, people who indulge in violent crimes, seldom come under the “unemployed” category. In fact, many of them are professional criminals, committing criminal acts for money. So, what is important is the fact that irrespective of whether a person is employed or not, it is eventually his own thought process that persuades or dissuades him from committing a crime. To sum up, unemployment is definitely one of the factors that may lead to an increase in crime rates. However, it seldom works individually. In most instances, unemployment has to be complemented by several other factors, and crime is often a collective outcome of these. Nevertheless, a point to be considered is that even crime is highly organized these days, with a lot of money involved. So, in many cases, crime may also function on its own. It can, thus, be said that the equation between unemployment and crime is rather complicated, and their relationship depends on various other factors as well.
