possible societal benefits from Universal Basic Income:

1. see below

]people wouldn't murder to get money yes they would, its basic income they would want more [/b
people wouldn't steal to feed themselves and their families again they would want more, ok food might be okay but a new tv would be great
since money would not be the measure of self worth, like it is to so many in our society now, other character traits would become measures of self worth, maybe even positive character traits like empathy, helpfulness, expertise, skills, honesty, etc The little bit of money would mean nothing, sure you could buy basic stuff, but what if you want a nice car. UBI would not be enough and self worth would still be tied to things like clothes and cars

people maybe would have choices of where to work not restricted to working for abusive narcissists in dictatorial settings. Possible, but being that UBI is normally figured out to be around 1500, it is not enough to live on so a job would still be needed

Sorry the last month has made me a little cynical
