Abstract

This article examines the crime trends reported in Turkey during 1984 to 2003. To this end it uses descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques in relation to police performance. Statistics prove that crimes are rapidly increasing in Turkey. In contrast, police performance seems to have degraded despite their increased number. As a result, it is suggested that Turkish police should change its working practices and organisational structure in order to improve their performance in dealing with crime. Otherwise, this situation may damage police public image irreconcilably.

Özet

Bu makale, Türkiye’de 1984 ile 2003 yılları arasındaki suç eğilimlerini ve bu dönemde işlenen suçlar karşısında polisin performansını değerlendirmektedir. Bu çerçevede son 20 yıllık devirde, Türkiye’deki suçların oldukça fazla bir miktarda arttığı, buna karşılık, polisin suçları çözme performansının düşmeye başladığı tespit edilmiştir. Netice olarak, Türk polisinin suçlarla mücadele performansının daha fazla zarar görmemesi için hem çalışma metotlarının hem de organizasyonel yapılanmasının geliştirilmesi gerektiği önerilmektedir. Bu olmadığı takdirde artan suç trendi sebebiyle polisin halk nezdindeki imajının zedeleneceği düşünülmektedir.
