Does having a job make one less likely to commit a crime? Criminologists have found that individuals who are marginalized from the labor market are more likely to commit crimes, and communities with more members who are marginal to the labor market have higher rates of crime. Yet, as Robert Crutchfield explains, contrary to popular expectations, unemployment has been found to be an inconsistent predictor of either individual criminality or collective crime rates. In Get a Job, Crutchfield offers a carefully nuanced understanding of the links among work, unemployment, and crime. Crutchfield explains how people?s positioning in the labor market affects their participation in all kinds of crimes, from violent acts to profit-motivated offenses such as theft and drug trafficking. Crutchfield also draws on his first-hand knowledge of growing up in a poor, black neighborhood in Pittsburgh and later working on the streets as a parole officer, enabling him to develop a more complete understanding of how work and crime are related and both contribute to, and are a result of, social inequalities and disadvantage. Well-researched and informative, Get a Job tells a powerful story of one of the most troubling side effects of economic disparities in America. 410 0$aNew perspectives in crime, deviance, and law series. 606 $aRace relations$xEconomic aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086512 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00895050 606 $aCrime$xEconomic aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00882991 606 $aCrime$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aRace relations$xEconomic aspects 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$zUnited States 606 $aCriminalite$xAspect economique$zE?tats-Unis 606 $aRelations raciales$xAspect economique 606 $aDiscrimination dans l'emploi$zE?tats-Unis 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 7$aRace relations$xEconomic aspects. 615 7$aDiscrimination in employment. 615 7$aCrime$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aCrime$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aRace relations$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment 615 0$aCriminalite$xAspect economique 615 0$aRelations raciales$xAspect economique. 615 0$aDiscrimination dans l'emploi 676 $a331.5 700 $aCrutchfield$b Robert D.$01725383 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910852986603321 996 $aGet a job$94128390 997 $aUNINA
