Abstrakt: This paper examines crime and economic indicators on a Caribbean island. The findings show that over two decades, for every 1% increase in GDP, there has been a 2.2% increase in total crimes, and similar increases in other crime categories. The theoretical, methodological and policy implications of the findings are explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
