Will the Economic Crisis cause crime rate to shoot sky high?

Stealing is now something in the norm. Though it shouldn't be. Will the economic crisis send the crime rate up the charts?

The economic crisis has hit many of us on our usual update on technology, and fashion. Many are going insane, but what will we do when we can no longer afford the things we need. Is the American economy going down because of the countries it supports. The military funds, and man power that is put in to defend 3rd world countries like Iraq and so on. Or just to defend countries that are being oppressed by it's civil war broken half such as South Korea.

In South Korea, the crime rate has already escalated. I'm sure in many other countries it has as well. But With Obama trying to spend our way out of the economic crisis, which isn't helping, and the rest of the world yapping at America's heels like little kids looking to their mom or dad and saying, "Now what?"

Japan's youth is being affected, many are being let go. And have to return to the farm. While the farming business in America isn't to hot either, seeing with thousands and millions lost with the E-coli and other such annoyances breaking out last year. More precautions are being taken as Americans didn't each lettuce for weeks.

People speak of the depression like it's over. But I personally believe that it still here, and will probably forever be.
