I think many economic policy makers are now factoring crime into their models. If you look at companies such as CVS, Walmart and many others, they are closing down stores due to crime. This causes economic hardship for those that are employed in those area’s and the less money in the pockets of those employees causes a domino affect on other business’ in those area’s.
Certain communities are becoming so violent and crime ridden that many large corporations are choosing to close down stores and slow growth in their own companies because of lost revenue due to theft, robbery, and violent assaults. This in turn slows overall economic growth. Why is this happening? Irresponsible and weak policies in certain communities along with no discipline and family structure in those communities.
Revitalization seems like a noble idea ( at first ) but when violence and crime at the hands of violent human beings in those communities create financial loss and obvious safety issues, how can there be economic growth? Its not the job of economic policy makers to ensure that people in those communities make responsible decisions, provide structured housholds, and teach their children to obey laws and pay attention in school.
Economic policy makers are faced with a conundrum.
