Answer 1

Answer:

Heya mate your answer is----------------------------------------------------

If there is high unemployment in informal settlements then the crime rate of those areas will definitely increase.

Firstly to understand this relationship one must be aware that inner cities having informal settlements means living in shacks or densely clustered settings. Example, South Africa has many informal settlements. Statistics say that every 1/5 South Africans live in shacks.

People who live in rural areas migrate to urban areas looking for jobs, under duress. Thus those who live in informal settlements, they struggle to progress beyond dead-end and thus if there is limited existing employment then they will turn towards stealing.
