The crime rate, especially drug crime, decreases significantly when more 16-44 year olds have access to affordable Vocational Education and Training, (VET) according to a new University of Melbourne report.

Drug crime rate decreased 13 per cent when more people had access to a publicly-funded place in VET. The research also recorded a five percent and 11 per cent decrease in personal and property crime respectively, including assault, theft and burglary.

Report author, Dr Cain Polidano from the Melbourne Institute found that the extra public funding of VET (TAFE and private colleges) reduced the costs of crime.

    Indeed, Bender aside, robots are not funny.

    No, they're not, but I need to give you credit for trying.

    God, you're to fucking typical. I knew, just KNEW, your idiotic "well I did X Y and Z back when I was a young shit golem, why can't everyone else?" was going to get smeared all over this thread. newsflash, shithead: it ain't the 70s no more. Purchasing power of the dollar has dropped incredibly low, almost as bad as World War II era if I remember right. I have TWO jobs, and still make barely $25K a year pre-tax, and this is WITH a hard-science degree (which is being used in neither...).

    The times, they have a-changed. Yes, I'd have more money for myself if I weren't doing all that anti-human-trafficking stuff, but you know what? That kind of selfishness is what lead to all this in the first place.

    I realize that your kind are characterized by a kind of ahistorical solipsism, and that there is no saving you; I will, however, point out these pathological thought patterns for the benefit of all watching who know you're full of shit but can't, or can't be bothered, to articulate why.
