Econ 101. (simplified version) Raising the minimum wage rate would more likely than not, increase the crime rate. By increasing the minimum wage, employers will be able to hire fewer workers. At the macro level, fewer workers hired will net an increase in unemployment rates. As unemployment rates increase, so too do crime rates.
