Cinsiyet Gelir Farkı’nın Cinsiyet Suç Oranı Üzerine Etkisi Üzerine Ekonometrik Bir İnceleme: Arkansas Eyaleti Örneği

Bu çalışma, cinsiyet hususunu dikkate alarak suçun belirleyicilerini açıklamayı hedeflemektedir. Arkansas eyaleti ve bu eyalet içerisinden 4 şehir rassal olarak seçilmiştir. Standart en küçük kareler ekonometrik tahmin sisteminin küme dirençli standart hatalar yöntemiyle kullanılmasıyla elde edilen tahmin sonuçları, gelir düzeyinin negatif ve tutuklanma olasılığının suç piyasasına katılımı pozitif ve istatistiki olarak anlamlı olarak etkilediğini göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanın en önemli bulgusu erkek ve kadınlar arasında gelir farkının artmasının erkeklerin, kadınlara göre, suç işleme oranını arttırdığını göstermesidir. Sonuçlar literatürden farklı olarak, tutuklanma olasılığının belirli bir eşik değerinden sonra, suç oranlarını arttırdığını göstermektedir.

An Econometric Investigation of the Impact of Gender Income Gap on the Gender Gap in Crime: The Case of Arkansas State

The paper examines the determinants of crime byfocusing on gender issue. We randomly select the state of Arkansas and fourcounties in Arkansas. We estimate econometric models to examine thedeterminants of crime market participation. Estimations based on ordinal leastsquares using clustered robust standard errors imply that probability of arrestaffects the crime market participation. One of the significant contribution ofthe paper is that, according to the estimation results crime gap increases asgender income gap increases explaining the decline in the gender wage gap andgender gap in crime in the last decades. Furthermore the results contrary toliterature, imply that there is threshold level after which increase inprobability of arrest leads to the crime market participation.
