Unemployment is a major socio-economic problem especially among ethnic and racial minority groups in Australia; structural unemployment contributes to the increase of youth unemployment and furthers the belief set forth by the class system of role satisfaction. As unemployment rates continue to rise, so has crime and deviancy among the underclass. A criminologist by the name of R. Eckersley established a direct link between the rise in crime and unemployment, his “ 'research in Australia and overseas has linked unemployment to mental and physical ill-health, suicide, drugs and crime ' (Eckersley 1988:27).” We see the link between relative deprivation and social disorganization and the influence it had on crime and deviancy, seldom do we consider exactly how much of an effect crime has on our social environmental, and public health.
