Golden. I am asking you to tell me exactly what impact that those on welfare have on the Crime Rate when they run out of money. Why is this a red herring? You want to talk crime rates as they pertain to poverty and welfare, then let's go down that path.
The original study i posted, explained what happens. Go back and re read the study, the answer you seek is there.
And as for removing social welfare, I am not for that, I am all for helping those who truly need it, however, taking those off it who use it to SQUEAK by and then supplement with criminal acts are merely perpetuating a circle. Given enough time off welfare they would either die, get locked up, or take the first step to becoming functioning members of society. It's not the pretty answer, but people need to take responsibility for their actions and stop expecting handouts.
I respect your opinion. However, such a welfare system protects capitalism. This is not an opinion, only a fact.
