A Sociological Analysis of the Relationship between Education and Crime

In most of the theories and empirical studies on crime, the education is put forwardas one of the important factors explaining crime. Accordingly, as the quality andquality of education increases, a decrease is observed in the tendency to commitcrimes. On the other hand, it is stated that “crime” reduces the positive effects ofeducation. In this article, the relationship between education and crime is discussedby considering the official reports of Justice Statistics of the Republic of Turkey, aswell as it is aimed to explain the sociological trajectories of the subjecttheoretically. Therefore, in the article, besides discussing various aspects of therelationship between education and crime, theories related to crime that cancontribute to making sense of this relationship are briefly included. In this study,the relationship between education and crime was analyzed sociologically in linewith the scientific literature reached. In line with the sociological analysis, it isimportant to invest in human capital when the education-crime relationship isexamined in terms of both international literature and crime theories. In summary,quality, equal and accessible education can be a salvation for children andindividuals who are especially disadvantaged, who live in a crime environment,and who are at risk of both being pushed into crime and being victims of crime.
