Crime is a serious problem in every society in the world. The aim of this paper is to explain the relationship between crime and unemployment in the Slovak Republic. The study uses panel data from all 8 regions in the Slovak Republic for the period 1997 - 2019. To determine the relationship econometric techniques are used in the form of OLS estimator. In the chapter Results, we estimate 4 different forms of models that use fixed as well as time effects of individual regions. Correlation analysis showed weak to moderate links between different types of criminal activity and unemployment. The estimated coefficients of the models indicate weak impact of unemployment and lagged unemployment rate on crime in Slovakia. Theoretical perspectives of crime-unemployment relationship could be accepted only to a small extent. The statistical significance of the estimated models is weak, which means that unemployment is not one of the driving factors of crime in Slovakia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
