An idol mind is the devil's workshop when you are jobless and you need to take care of your basic needs, you will start thinking of a way out for yourself since they government cares less about you. Bad economy can lead so many people astray to commit crime in a high level especially the poor ones that have no hope to feed.
Recession is a key factor to crime due to lost of jobs,high cost of commodities and low income only the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer because the rich are taking advantage of the situation. Bad economy can come from bad leaders that are not concerned about their citizens but instead loots the country's funds for themselves and their family.
Idle not idol. When we are jobless, the best thing to do would be to look for another job and not to commit crimes because this can only lead you into trouble. There are governments who care about the situation of their people, if they are not corrupt of course. They can provide relief goods and cash assistance which is great but we should not only depend on it.
We also need to move on our own because these temporary supplies can run out soon and you can't get another after some time. People shouldn't put the blame to the recession but its their fault for not preparing about it. They don't know that recession is a normal thing and can happen unexpectedly.
