Theft increase in the UK

Theft increase in the UK

“Thefts rose 25 percent and home burglaries increased four percent between October and December last year compared with the year before” Police records in the UK indicate. There was also an increase in theft over the third quarter of 2008.

Is this related to the downturn? A leaked document from the UK government says “yes.” Unemployment rose over this period, but has improved since the beginning of the year.
