Unemployment, Crime and Offenders

The preoccupation with the unemployment-crime link has meant that a number of other concerns about the way that unemployment affects the criminal justice system, and ways of dealing with offenders, have been largely ignored.

This book, originally published in 1989, brings together research from a variety of sources relating to unemployment.

This research provides much information on the practical, day-to-day experiences of dealing with offenders at a time of high unemployment and the related policy implications.
