Question

Crically discuss THREE links between unemployment and crime/ lack of sef esteem ​

Answer 1

Unemployment links to crime because 1 they have nothing else to do with their time resulting in boredom influencing behaviour that does not fit in with society. 2. They may not have the funds to access basic necessities such as food and money to keep them warm which results in them doing things that would get them into trouble in aid to feed themselves and their family. 3. Being unemployed may also have a decline in their self esteem because they may feel as if they do not make as much contribution as their peers or other family members which can also make them feel stressed if they are not able to provide as much as they would like to making them feel worthless and not significant.
