Document Summary
Crim 101 lecture 10 april 4th ,2013 1. Nature of the workplace has changed significantly over last few decades. Better paying, full-time manufacturing jobs have been disappearing. Replaced by lower paying ( often part-time) service jobs. Women at work more females including married women are now working and in some cases, moving into occupational positions traditionally held almost exclusively by males. Technological changes e. g. , computers, cell phones, and email have also had dramatic effect on how workplace is structured. More people are now able to do some or all of their work at home. Many theories of crime e. g. , anomie theory, relative deprivation theory, social disorganization theory assume there is a relationship between unemployment and crime. Researchers have found weak or even negative relationship between these two factors. Evidence suggests that employed teenagers are more likely to be involved in crime than unemployed teenagers. Away from home more often, have their own money, may have their won transportation.
