Crime rate.

Looking at the fast food industries from the outside in all you seem to notice is the food and how it is made. Just brushing the surface and never really getting to the bottom of the issues that industry factories and fast food establishments actually create. One of the major issues is how crime rate mysteriously increases after the arrival of farm factories. The town of Lexington, Nebraska is depicted as a place with nice scenery and modest Victorian homes, but looks are very deceiving in this town since the arrival of a well known company. " In 1990, IBP opened a slaughterhouse in Lexington. A year later, the town, with a population of roughly seven thousand, had the highest crime rate in the state of Nebraska. (Fast Food Nation,165)." It's amazing how a lot of the crime that occurs around or to these companies are unnoticed. Fast food industries have some of the highest robbery/murder rates in the country and the crimes are done by former employees majority of the time."The FBI does not compile nationwide statistics on restaurants robberies, and the restaurant industry will not disclose them(86)." The president of the National Safe Workplace Institute stated, "No other industry is robbed so frequently by it's own employees (86)." The crimes are almost never disclosed to the public, there are no statistics on how many workers are murdered on the job or the robberies that occur every year. Anyone say, "Let's not scare future employees away?"
