Discuss how economic situations impact threats. You can look at this from any aspect, or multiple aspects, of threat that we have discussed to this point.

            Economic situations play a decisive role in guiding and shaping different aspects of societal threats. Therefore, this form of influence can be evaluated from different aspects, such as national security, public health, and crime rates. Economic situations influence threats in different scenarios. Economic situations influence the ability of the country in the direct allocation of resources based on the country’s national securities. Significantly, a strong country’s economy contributes to the investment of the governments in the security abilities, intelligence, and legal enforcement agencies, thus enhancing the ability of the country to manage external threats.

            Economic situations influence threats to public health, which affects the easy access to healthcare services. Most of the vulnerable population might face different challenges that lead to difficulties in accessing adequate healthcare, which may contribute to increased susceptibility to various illnesses or inadequate healthcare responses. Economic situations can influence threats in mental health conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety, which may lead to an increase in different mental-related threats.

            Additionally, economic situations contributed to the increased crime rates due to the rise in poverty and inequalities in incomes. The depreciation of the country’s economy can contribute to the restoration of individuals to different crime activities as a way of surviving through to improving the life quality. Economic situations lead to an increase in unemployment threats in a country due to economic downturns. This increase in unemployment leads to a rise in poverty, which can lead to crime threats due to financial desperation. In general, economic situations have different impacts on different threat dimensions in our societies.
