Inner-city poverty in relation to inner-city crime in Europe

[Scotslass]

No, just that most people that are very poor look to crime as a last resort whether it be a drug habit, supporting family or paying bills or simply to get food. For some people it is extremely hard and with this economic climate, we will see a rise in crime for sure. It is very sad.

When your out there working in some communities it just makes you feel shocked.

Southampton has some seriously dodgy and rough areas.
