The social disorganization scheme argues that socio-economic stress (e. g. poverty, racial/ethnic issues, etc) undermines social control level and strikes the foundations of social cohesion, which results in occurrence of crime. The routine activity approach/ surmisal claims that shepherds crook activities are related to social surround and the manner patterns of wad who live in the neighborhood or community. Unfavorable environment settings (poverty, secondary education or literacy and unemployment) are frequently used to evaluate the force plays of crime correlates. (CRIME AND POVERTY) Fleisher (1963-1966) (Fleisher, B. , (1966), The set up of Income Delinquency, American Economic Review, 56 (1/2).Pp. 118-137) The principal theoretical reason for believing that low income increases the style to commit crime is that it raises the relational woo of engaging in legitimate activity and that the probable cost of getting caught is relatively low, since they (low-income individuals) view their legitimate lifetime netings prospects dismally they may expect to lose relatively little earning potential by acquiring sorry records, further more, if legitimate earnings are low, the hazard of lifetime actually spent in delinquent activity, or in jail is also low (Fleisher 1966, p. 20) Marc Hooghe, Bram Vanhoutte, Vim Hardyns and Tuba Bircan.

The greater the inequality, the higher this strain and the greater the inducement for low0status individuals to commit crimeMachin and Meghir (2004) (Machin, Stephen and Costas Meghir.

Lee Ellis, Kevin Beaver, John Wright. pedantic Press, Oxford, UK Many of the most popular theories of criminal behavior have focused on poverty as a major causal factor (Mesnner and Sou th 1986977) pg 36Deteriorated neighborhood conditions in an urban area were almost always associated with higher rates of wrap upicial crime. Pg 237 (CRIME AND EDUCATION) (the socioeconomic determinants of crime. A review of literature. Paolo buonanno. Univerita degli studi di Milano-bicocca. p18) Crime appears to be strictly related to the level of education attained and to individuals economic and social background. Freeman (1991,1996), Grogger (1995,1998) and more recently Lochner and Moretti (2001) attempt to clearly identify the relationships betwixt crime and education. Usher (1997) (Usher, D. , (1997). cultivation as Deterrent to Crime. Canadian Journal of Economics, 30 (2), pp. 367-84. ) Education promotes good citizenship. Education does more than teach skills to enhance anes capacity to earn income. It perpetuates the set of society, enculturates people to serve their communities and promotes virtues of hard work and honesty. Education may also have a shade consequ ence, tending to reduce the incidence of criminal activity. Ehrlich (1975, p. 333) (Elrich,I. , (1975).

S. in 1960 Wilson and Herrnstein (1985) (Wilson, J. Q. and R. Herrnstein (1985). Crime and Human Nature. New York Simon and Schuster) Several studies have shown that criminals tend to be less educated and from poorer economic backgrounds than non-criminals. Lochner (1999) (Lochner, L. , (1999). Education, flex and Crime Theory and Evidence, Working Paper No 465, Center for Economic Research (RCER) University of Rchester) crime is primarily a problem among young educated men. Individuals with low skill level are more likely to participate in criminal activities beca use the returns they can earn from work or school are low. Both high school graduation and ability directly lower criminal propensities p. 34 Lochner and Moretti- (Lochner, L. and E. Moretti (2001).

Empirically there is a strong negative correlation between educational progression and various measures of crime. Using OLS, Lochner and Morretti (2004) estimate that one-year increase in average education levels in a state reduces state-level arrest rates by 11 percent. pg9 Handbook of crime correlates.Lee Ellis, Kevin Beaver, John Wright. Academic Press, Oxford, UK The vast majority of studies have concluded that as an indi viduals years of education increase, his or her probability of criminal behavior decreases. Two studies of the relationship between years of education and antisocial behavior some(prenominal) concluded that a significant negative correlation existed. Pg 36 The crime reducing effect of education. Stephen machin, Olivier marie. Suncica vujic. Institute for the Study of Labor discussion paper no. 5000. June 2010. IZA Bonn Germany Pg 2-4There are a number of theoretical reasons why education may have an effect on crime. From the existing socio-economic literature there are (at least) three main channels through which schooling might affect criminal association income effects (education increases the returns to legitimate work raising the opportunity costs of illegal behavior therefore, those who can earn more are less likely to engage in crime), time availability (time spent in education may also be important in terms of limiting the time on hand(predicate) for participating in crimi nal activity.The time spent at school during the year is negatively match to the probability of arrest that year. It was found that property crime increases significantly in areas where youths have days off school) and patience or risk aversion. For most crimes, one would expect that these factors induce a negative effect of schooling on crime. CRIME AND UNEMPLOYMENT Arvantes and Delfina 2006 High unemployment rates also provide incentives to perform all kinds of criminal acts. John P. Allison (1972) (Allison, John P. Economic Factors and the rate of Crime. Land Economics 48 (1972) 193-96. JSTOR. 9 Feb 2009 ) Allison finds that unemployment rate is one of the biggest factors that contribute toward crime rates. Both unemployment and poverty rates have significant and positive effects on crime rate. Handbook of crime correlates. Lee Ellis, Kevin Beaver, John Wright. Academic Press, Oxford, UK Pg 107 Regarding the frequency of unemployment, numerous studies have been conducted with r espect to criminality.The majority of these studies have indicated that frequently unemployed persons are more likely to have a criminal record In Ehrlich model, individuals divide their time between legal activates and risky illegal activities. If legal income opportunites buy the farm scare relative to potential gains in crime, the model predicts that crime will become more frequent. increase unemployment could be one such factor. Identifying the effect of unemployment and crime. Steven Raphael and Rudolf winter-ebmer. Journal of law and economics. Vol. xliv. April 2001. The university of chicago Pg 260Declines in crime rates may be due in part to the current absence of legal employment opportunities. To the achievement that increase legitimate employment opportunities deter potential offender from committing crimes, a decline in the unemployment rate such as that observed during the 1990s may be said to cause the declines in crime rate.

Academic Press, Oxford, UK Pg 150 The vast majority of studies have found that individuals who receive high grades tend to be less criminal than those with low grades.The academic consummation of delinquents and criminals tends to be especially poor in those subject areas requiring reading and other linguistic skills rather than in areas where the primary demands are on mathematical and scientific reasoning skills. Pg241 243 There is a strong evidence that academic performance as measured by grade point average was inversely associated with both official and self-reported criminality in nearly all investigations.

Crime is a free-willed choice Positivist theory Crime is caused or determined by sociological factors Social Disorganization/Chicago School Shaw an McKay, Sampson and Wilson, Raudenbush and Earls disorganize communities cause crime because informal social controls break down and criminal cultures emerge. They lack the collective energy to fight crime and disorder.Strain/General Strain by Cohen, Cloward and Ohlin, Agnew When individuals cannot obtain success goals (e. g. , money, status in school), they experience strain or pressure. Under certain conditions, they are likely to respond to this strain through crime. The strains leading to crime, however, may not only be linked to goal blockage (or deprivation of valued stimuli0 but also to the presentation of noxious stimuli and the taking away of valued stimuli. Critical Theory by Bonger, Quinney, Currie and Colvin Inequality in material well-being creates conditions that lead to street crime and corporate crime.
