N2  - It was hypothesized that prior failure to find marked relationships between crime and economic conditions reflect the countervailing influences of an inverse relationship of juvenile criminality with unemployment and a direct relationship of offenses by adults with unemployment. Crude data for the United States, and somewhat more adequate data for Chicago, Boston, and Cincinnati, largely support the hypotheses. It is suggested that conversion to criminality, interpreted by the Merton "Social Structure and Anomie" paradigm, best explains these findings, and provides a needed complement to Sutherland's type of explanation for persistence in crime.
