HC Deb 03 February 1972 vol 830 c185W
92. Mr. Peter Archer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will commission an inquiry into the correlation between juvenile unemployment and the crime-rate.

Mr. Carlisle

My right hon. Friend has no immediate plans for such research. The individual's record of employment and unemployment is one of the factors commonly examined in studies of offenders carried out by the Home Office or with financial assistance from the Home Office.
