“…Furthermore, (Fallesen, Geerdsen, Imai & Tranaes, 2018) unemployment has a high causal impact on rearrests for individuals with criminal records who are active in the labor market. Evidence from Greece concluded that the unemployment rate affects the overall criminality considerably, but criminality was not confirmed on specific type crimes on the assumption that recession would rise (Laspa, 2013).…”

The crime index in Malaysia shown two distinctive overall trend patterns; increasing trend from 1982 to 2009 and decreasing from 2009 to 2016. On the other hand, the country's real GDP growth fluctuated substantially over the 34 years of period. Nevertheless, Malaysia has achieved its highest growth rate at 6.2% in the third quarter of 2017. Being a developing country with an open economy policy and industrialized market, it is, therefore, becoming important to study whether the economic condition does affect the crime rate in Malaysia. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between economic variables (unemployment rate, price level, total immigrants, and population) and the crime index. Utilizing time-series data from the year 1982 to 2016 the study began with the analysing unit root test. The data must be proven stationary in order to proceed with other analyses. The cointegration analysis was done to capture the long-run equilibrium between variables. Findings showed that the economic variables investigated are crucial determinants and do impact the crime rate in Malaysia.

The aim of this study is to carry out an economic analysis of the consequences that arose following the decriminalization of the issuance of bad checks in Turkey. In our statistical analysis we examined the legal situation of bouncing checks in three periods: before 2009 when the issuance of bad checks was subject to imprisonment, between 2009 and 2012 when a partial decriminalization took place and between 2012 and 2014 when the issuance of bouncing checks was fully decriminalized and penalties were reduced to only administrative fines. We test the hypotheses that partial or full decriminalization led to a rise in the number of bad checks in Turkey. We find that there is no statistical evidence for an association between the first, modest step of the decriminalization process (Law No. 5941) and the frequency with which checks bounced in Turkey. However, full decriminalization of bouncing checks (Law No. 6273) led to an increase in the frequency of bad checks. We also find that the establishment of a Risk Center by the Bank Association of Turkey helped to identify customers not worthy of credit and was successful in decreasing the frequency of bad checks. We conclude that in the case of Turkish check law imprisonment was more effective in deterring writers of bad checks than the administrative and civil sanctions that are now in place. Nonetheless, private credit screening efforts also promoted the targeted policy goal of limiting the number of bad checks in Turkey.

“…No que se refere propriamente aos estupros, Peterson e Bailey (1992) encontram que a desigualdade de renda geral (não apenas entre homens e mulheres) contribui para a ocorrência de estupros. Já Laspa (2015) não encontra correlação entre desigualdade de renda ou renda e agressões sexuais, para dados da Grécia em 9 anos.…”

ResumoA violência contra a mulher é um fenômeno que causa danos enormes à vida das vítimas. As agressões afetam diretamente a saúde mental das mulheres e, consequentemente, seu capital humano. O capital humano, por sua vez, afeta a produtividade. Nesse contexto, objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a violência contra a mulher e sua relação com as condições socioeconômicas em dois sentidos. Primeiro, analisa-se as consequências econômicas da depressão no rendimento do trabalho feminino, utilizando os dados da PNAD 2008 e seu Suplemento Especial de Saúde. Nesse estudo, a ocorrência de violência serviu como variável instrumental para a presença de depressão na mulher. Segundo, investiga-se como as características socioeconômicas e o gasto público dos estados brasileiros afetam a ocorrência de estupros, com foco na dinâmica desse crimee. Utiliza-se um painel de dados estaduais de 2009 a 2014. No primeiro ensaio, os resultados da estimação IV-GMM com correção do viés de seleção pelo procedimento de Heckman indicam que a depressão reduz os rendimentos das mulheres em torno de 8 a 22%. No segundo, os resultados da estimação SYS GMM não indicaram impacto claro da inércia na determinação das taxas de estupro, possivelmente devido ao tamanho reduzido do painel.
