Popis: | We examine the effect of inequality on crime in Russia's 88 regional entities from 2000 to 2005. Using dynamic Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation techniques, we consider both violent (murder and robberies) and nonviolent crime (thefts, economic crimes), and drug crimes and crimes committed by juveniles. The results indicate that inequality has a significant, positive effect on murders, robberies, thefts and juvenile crimes. |
