As crime is a significant matter for society in urban areas, describing and analyzing this problem is essential forresearchers. Due to high number of crime and structural complexity in urban society, urban areas are in theprimary interest of urbanologists. Neutralization theory supports that offenders and suspects justify committingcrime by using several neutralization techniques, including legitimizing their wrong-doings. This studyinvestigates whether suspects of property crimes, such as burglary or theft, use neutralization techniques.Suspects statement data was collected from Erzurum province and analyzed using statistical techniques.Frequency and cross tabulation were used to create a contingency table. Findings of the study show thatsuspects generally use the technique ofdenial of responsibility of committing the crime, and in most cases theyuse neutralization techniques in an attempt to burglary or theft.
