A new report from a British market research company says there is a "wave of micro crime" in the country. Researchers from the organisation YouGov said they were shocked by their findings. Matthew Smith, a data analyst at YouGov, said: "Looking around you, you probably wouldn't expect that three in every four people you see are hiding a criminal past. Yet that's exactly what is happening as new research…[shows] that as many as 74 per cent of British people are 'micro-criminals' – having done at least one very minor or 'micro' crime." The most common crime confessed to by the British public is paying someone cash for services, knowing that the person will not pay tax on it.

YouGov says that men and middle-class people were the most likely to commit these micro crimes. Researchers say 77 per cent of men and 71 per cent of women committed micro crimes. About 80 per cent of middle-class people admitted to committing micro crimes while the figure was closer to 70 per cent for working-class people. The second-most commonly committed crime was illegally downloading or streaming TV shows, movies or music. Slightly fewer than 30 per cent of people said they had done this. Other micro crimes included not paying for plastic bags in supermarkets, lying about your age to get a better deal, and eating things in a supermarket without paying.
YouGov表示,男性和中產(chǎn)階級(jí)是最可能犯這些輕微罪行的人。研究人員表示,77%的男性和71%的女性曾犯過(guò)微小的罪行。大約80%的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)承認(rèn)犯過(guò)輕微罪行,而勞動(dòng)階級(jí)犯這種罪行的比例接近70%。第二個(gè)最常見(jiàn)的罪行是非法下載或散布電視節(jié)目,電影和音樂(lè)。稍微低于30%的人表示他們?cè)?jīng)這樣做過(guò)。其他輕微的罪行包括在超市沒(méi)有支付塑料袋的費(fèi)用,為了得到更好的待遇謊報(bào)年齡,在超市不付錢(qián)就吃東西。
