Unemployment and crime
Krempaský, Michal ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis analyzes a relationship between unemployment and crime. I test a hypothesis whether unemployment affects crime indirectly through an immediate negative opportunity effect and delayed positive motivation effect. The influence of unemployment is analyzed in respect of 11 categories of crime. The analysis was performed using fixed effects on quarterly panel data for 14 regions of the Czech Republic from the last quarter of 2005 to the last quarter of 2012. The negative opportunity effect and positive motivation effect proved to be statistically significant in the model of property crimes and total crime. However, size of both effects is very small.
