Halibut 12 #2 Posted April 12, 2007 I expect the housing benefit people would have. Why are you interested? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Salster! 10 #3 Posted April 12, 2007 Firstly, any particular reason you want to know?? Plus you may have to use the freedom of information act to get that sort of info, plus then you'll probably be given a percentage figure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dav_hills 10 #5 Posted April 12, 2007 here's your equation for you to save a bit of time people with no money and possibly low education living with like-minded peers = more likely to commit crime because of social pressures and other stuff people with money and possibly higher education = less likely to get caught Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Halibut 12 #6 Posted April 12, 2007 I'm looking into the connection between benefit and crime. Are we talking academic research or proving a point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dav_hills 10 #10 Posted April 12, 2007 That's a gross oversimplification as well as rather offensively suggesting that poverty automatically suggests crime... Why does it have to be complicated? The obvious and common sense are often overlooked. Theres a book id like you to read explaining the true nature of problems and takes away the so called ideas of experts! Its called Freakonomics by Seven Levitt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Grandad.Malky 11 #11 Posted April 12, 2007 Why does it have to be complicated? The obvious and common sense are often overlooked. Because of the “no blame culture” when something goes wrong its never the individuals fault, much easier to blame it on other factors.

Surg has got the monk on because his/her baiting on the Hillsborough thread was trimmed... Never mind, I shall now leave. I have a community event to attend and am no doubt going to be on face painting duty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
