Poverty and Crime
Across
- 5. Support that can lower risk. For example, a trusted mentor can help a young person feel supported.
- 7. Helping someone avoid court through another response. For example, a youth program may help someone repair harm.
- 8. Things that can raise risk but do not decide what will happen. For example, a lack of buses can make getting to work harder.
Down
- 1. Not having enough money or resources for basic needs. For example, a family may struggle to afford food or rent.
- 2. Stopping harm before it happens.
- 3. When one thing directly makes another thing happen. For example, rain can cause a puddle.
- 4. The number of crimes reported or recorded compared with the number of people in an area. For example, more patrols may lead to more minor offenses being recorded.
- 6. When two things happen together. For example, ice cream sales and swimming may both rise in summer.
