- W52110259 abstract "The Stock Market crash in October, 1929, disrupted American business and plunged the country into a period of economic unrest. Unemployment reached tragic proportions. About the same time it was discovered by the populace that the majority of jails and penitentiaries were badly overcrowded. The unusual coexistence of excessive unemployment with overcrowded prisons led many to assume that unemployment was an outstanding causative factor in crime. This article shows that such an assumption is not completely justified by available facts. There seems to be no consistent relationship between the increase in number of prisoners admitted to the penitentiary and the employment index for the population at large. The number of men admitted to the Illinois State Penitentiary from 1925 to 1931 was as follows: 780, 680, 669, 768, 1054, 1204, and 964. The monthly average of employment in Illinois covering the period 1925-1927 is taken as a basic index of 100. In 1925 the index of business was practically normal (100.5). Chart I shows that the increase in prison population does not follow business conditions as reflected in the employment index. It is interesting to note that there was a sharp drop in the number of prisoners admitted in 1931, when the index of employment was far below that of the previous six years. It should be borne in mind that the number of prisoners admitted to the Illinois State Penitentiary each year is only one of several indexes of the amount of crime committed in the Northern Illinios area. Hence a word of caution is necessary lest some draw too sweeping conclusions from the above data. A comparison of the figures on unemployment among prisoners who were unemployed when the crime was committed with the averages for the wage earners in the country at large reveals an excess of unemployment for the criminal group. Fifty per cent of the men admitted to the Illinois State Penitentiary at Joliet in 1927 were unemployed at the time the crime was committed. In 1929 the" @default.
