Abstract

As crime is a significant matter for society in urban areas, describing and analyzing this problem is essential for researchers. Due to high number of crime and structural complexity in urban society, urban areas are in the primary interest of urbanologists. Neutralization theory supports that offenders and suspects justify committing crime by using several neutralization techniques, including legitimizing their wrong-doings. This study investigates whether suspects of property crimes, such as burglary or theft, use neutralization techniques. Suspects’ statement data was collected from Erzurum province and analyzed using statistical techniques. Frequency and cross tabulation were used to create a contingency table. Findings of the study show that suspects generally use the technique ofdenial of responsibility of committing the crime, and in most cases they use neutralization techniques in an attempt to burglary or theft.

Abstract

Suçlar, özellikle kentsel mekanda işlenen suçlar, kent bilimcilerin dikkatini çektiği gibi farklı bilimlerdeki araştırmacıların da ilgisini çekmekte ve kendi uzmanlıkları çerçevesinde araştırma yapmaya sevk etmektedir. “Nötrleştirme Teorisi”, suçluların ve suçu gerçekleştirdiği düşünülen şüphelilerinbazı gerekçelerle işledikleri suçu, bir takım “Nötrleştirme Teknikleri” kullanarak, bir diğer ifadeyle nötrleştirerek haklı olma çabasının bir ifadesi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada hırsızlık suçu temelinde şüphelilerin, nötrleştirme tekniklerini kullanıp kullanmadıkları incelenmektedir. Bu amaçla Erzurum İlinde yapılan alan araştırmasında elde edilen verilerin frekansı ve çapraz değerleri alınmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, şüphelilerin ağırlıklı olarak, “sorumluluğun reddedilmesi” tekniğini kullandıkları ve en çok da “hırsızlığa teşebbüs”suçunda nötrleştirme tekniklerini kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Nötrleştirme teorisi, Kentleşme, Hırsızlık, Erzurum
