Abstract

Abstract This paper empirically assesses the relationship between crime and socio- macroeconomic variables, as well as political violence. In order to demonstrate this relationship, in the vector autoregression (VAR) model, GDP per capita, inflation rate, number of unemployed, population density, political violence, education level, income level and the number of police officers were used as independent variables, while crime data were used as dependent variables. In addition, Granger causality analysis was conducted to determine the causality relationship between crime and independent variables and in which direction. According to the results obtained, a relationship was determined between crime and socio-macro-economic variables.

Özet

Bu çalışma, suç ile sosyo- makro ekonomik değişkenler ve ayrıca siyasi şiddet arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Bu ilişkiyi ortaya koyabilmek için vektör otoregresyon (VAR) modelinde, kişi başına GSYİH, enflasyon oranı, İşsiz sayısı, nüfus yoğunluğu, politik şiddet, eğitim seviyesi, gelir düzeyi ve polis sayısı bağımsız değişken olarak kullanılırken suç verileri bağımlı değişken olarak kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, suç ve bağımsız değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisinin ve hangi yönde olduğunu tespit etmek amacıyla Granger nedensellik analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, suç ve sosyo-makro ekonomik değişkenler arasında ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
