Another reason crime should be going up now

Corporate profits are up.

Stock prices are up.

So where are the jobs?

Overseas!

Companies are hiring people all over the world, but are far less likely to be hiring here. We know that unemployment rates are associated with higher property crime rates in neighborhoods, so we could conceivably lower crime rates by providing more jobs.

But as long as this is up to corporations we cannot hold our breaths. What matters is profit. And that is all.
