I would think that the theives are becoming more bold and cocky and if the law was to catch acouple of these guys the crime rate would drop for a bit until someone fills the gap.... i would also believe thefts are on the rise too is because people at pawnshops and people who buy stuff like that have alot less money to spend so the theif is required to steal more to make up for lost profit... it all makes sense if u think about it. Another thing to look at on the crime rate too is in tough times like this domestic violence is going to rise also becuase families that can no longer afford to do will begin to quarrel and could lead to violence both mental and physical.... to put it all in perspective and make a long story short cause i just finished my degree in the fall at eku with a degree in crj so i like doing criminologist thinking and theories of why and follow up with researching a area and looking at the trends.... but here is about the best explanation i can think of..... when the money runs out the crap hits the fan....
