I use quarterly data from the first quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2013. The influence of unemployment is examined on models for 7 different property crimes: robberies, burglaries into shops, flats, houses, weekend cottages, pickpocketing and pilfering cars. After estimation the econometric model results show a positive effect of unemployment on burglaries to houses. Other monitored property crimes have not proven to be statistically significant.
