Economic theory predicts a cause-and-effect relationship between improvements in the labor market and lower rates of crime. Empirical support for this causal connection means that labor market policies can play a role in reducing crime rates. To lift the economic prospects of all low-wage workers is not only a worthy economic and social goal, but one that will pay off in the long run by offering potential criminals a legitimate alternative to crime.
