Ücretler, İşsizlik Ve Suç Arasındaki İlişki: Yatay-Kesit Analizi

Suç olgusunu belirleyen faktörler çerçevesinde üzerinde durulması gereken en önemli konu başlıklarından bir tanesi, genel ekonomik yapıdır. Ekonomik yapı ve suç ilişkisi, bağlamında yapılan araştırmalara bakıldığında genellikle; işsizlik, yoksulluk, ücretler, piyasa koşulları ve enflasyon değerleri gibi ekonomik unsurların ele alındığı görülmektedir. Bu unsurların suç eylemi ile ilişkisinin nasıl bir görünüm sergilediğini araştırmak, suç araştırmalarında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da; işsizlik, ücret gibi unsurların suç davranışı ile olan ilişkisi, yatay-kesit analizi kullanılarak ampirik olarak test edilmiş ve bir takım bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, işsizliğin suç olgusu üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu saptanırken ücret düzeyinin suç üzerinde beklenen yönde yani negatif yönlü bir etkiye sahip iken istatistiksel olarak anlamsız bir ilişkiye rastlanılmıştır
