Eyles, Andrew; Major, Lee Elliot; Machin, Stephen – Sutton Trust, 2022
The study of social mobility can be traced back around 100 years, but up until the turn of the millennium it remained largely an academic topic.

Between 1975-1996, 43 police force areas in England and Wales were studied to determine the effect of wages on crime. It was found that a 10 percent rise in the average pay of those on low pay reduces the overall area property crime rate by…
