“…Individuals with higher income are often more security conscious than individuals with lower income. This study is in agreement with Sugiharti et al (2022) that higher income can reduce crime rate and feelings of insecurity. Other factors were economic, mechanical, and environmental factors.…”

The study examines fear and feeling of insecurity in Ibadan, Nigeria. Residents and staff of hotels were selected through multistage and purposive sampling respectively. The study discovered that the mean relative frequency worry index (RFWI) among the hotel staff was 2.54, while it was 2.44 among the residents of the host communities. The result showed that theft, fraud, robbery sexual abuse, and burglary were the most frequently worried crime in the hotel industry while robbery, theft, fraud, burglary, and sexual abuse were highly worried among the residents of host communities. Using factor analysis, 82.28% of the total variance which comprises mechanical/personal (42.7%), human (19.5%), economic (11.53%), and environmental factors (8.49%) were the factors influencing fear and feeling of insecurity among hotel staff while human/personal (49.30%), economic (11.26%), mechanical (7.49%), and environmental factor (6.52%), representing 74.5% of the whole variance were the factors among the residents of the host communities. The study concluded that fear and feeling of insecurity is associated with different factors.

“…Unlike previous studies, Sugiharti et al (2022) investigated the complex impact of economic and social factors on the crime rate (crime against human life and health, murder, rape, physical violence, robbery, and fraud) in 34 provinces of Indonesia. According to the econometric modeling, income inequality causes higher criminal activity.…”

The share of crimes against human life and health on average is up to 10% worldwide, and losses are estimated from 0.3 to 3% of GDP. This study examines the dependence of the rate of violence and crime against human life and health on the state policy elements in the example of transitioning and developing countries. The crime index, the share of people reporting crime, the rate of violence or vandalism in the area, and the number of intentional homicide offenses in the largest cities were used as parameters characterizing the rate of violence and crime against human life and health. All parameters were divided into institutional, social, and economic. The dependence between the indicators was studied using fixed-effects and random-effects models; a grouping of countries according to the nature of this dependence employed the iterative separation method of k-means and tree clustering. Based on the results, it is justified that institutional and economic (highest GDP and real minimum wages) components significantly influence the level of violence and crime against human life and health. For example, the average value of the crime index for the fourth cluster is 29.98 compared to 54.09 for the first cluster. At the same time, strengthening responsibility for committed crimes has a more negligible impact on the crime level than increasing the material well-being of the population and supporting its vulnerable segments.

Theft violates both legal and religious norms and it is a crime under Islamic and Indonesian Criminal Law . The study aims at comparing the regulation of theft both in Indonesia and in Islam. This normative legal research relies on secondary data and employs comparative approach. Comparison is made to explore the similarities and differences between Islamic criminal law and Indonesian criminal law with regard to theft especially on how this crime defined, the form of punishment , the requirement for imposing the punishments, and how effective are these punishment to deterring people from committing theft. The results of the study show that the use of imprisonment for theft as adopted in the Indonesian Penal Code seems to be ineffective for controlling theft cases. Hadd punishment as introduced in Islamic criminal law seems to be more promising for addressing the increasing number of theft cases. This is so because the application of cutting hand off not only prevents the thief to repeat the crime but also preventing others to do the same. Therefore, both special and general deterrence purposes are satisfied.
