Moreover, , there is a causal effect between unemployment and crime. The data show that when unemployment goes up crime also tends to go up. Conversely, when the economy is on the upswing, crimes tend to trend downwards. People are unemployed for various reasons, viz, a) economic slow down, b) lack of moderate to high paying jobs/opportunities,,c) low pay for available jobs, d) skills of workers are not in demand ( structural),e), f) workers education, and technical and administrative skills don’t meet jobs requirements, g) laziness, etc.. Regardless, when one is unemployed, life needs still go on, ie, feeding one family, among other things. Though we may not condone the behavior, if one is stealing to take care of one’s family, one may, may deserve some, some sympathy for the egregious behavio. Undoubtedly, though despised by law enforcement and the community writ large/in general, the emergence of the underground economy may be contributing to the unemployment. Both the official and underground economy have to be addressed to effectively addressed employment/unemployment for the longer-term.
@Manjack, you provided a litany of reasons why people can’t find work. But I don’t buy any of it. The BVI has to import labor and you telling me these lazy MSs cannot find work. No, they are damn lazy and feel entitled. What the Village got to do with ? ?? No, cannot find compassion for nor condone violent and property crime for any reason. Let them get off dem lazy a$$ and go find wuk. They commit the crime do the time. All this root cause(s) is bulls***, rationalizing bad behavior. Let’s stop the psychological mumbo jumbo.
