Back in July, I did a blog entry looking at hiow bank robberies, fraud and other crimes were booming because of the recession.
Now we have further evidence of the recession's impact with reports about how Michael Casey Wilson, 69, was forced to rob a bank to pay his 17% mortgage. Up until now, Wilson has had a clean record. This follows on from a Washington Post report the the elderly in Japan are now turning to shop lifting to make ends meet.
It's a trend likely to get worse as governments around the world shrink their social welfare budgets to make it through the recession.
