Abstract

Bu çalışmada 1999 ve 2008 yılları arasında toplanan adalet istatistikleri coğrafi bilgi sistemleri ve istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak incelendi. Suç oranlarındaki değişimler ve bu değişimlerin istatistiksel anlamlılığı trend analizi kullanılarak belirlendi. Görselleştirilen trendler, oranlar ve tahminler suç yapılarını açıklamak için yorumlandı. Suç yapıları incelendiğinde mülke ve şahsa karşı işlenen suçların oranlarında artış görülürken trafik ve finansal suçların oranlarında azalma olduğu tespit edildi.

CRIME TRENDS IN TURKEY

Abstract

This study examined the trends and spatial variations of crime types from 1999 to 2008 for turkey, using judicial statistics, geographic information system (GIS) and statistical methods. Changes in crime rates and their statistical significance levels were determined by using trend analysis with linear regression equation. Visualized trends, rates and predictions were interpreted to explain the crime patterns. According to the results while public order crimes (property and violent) were increased, traffic and financial crimes were decreased in turkey at ten years period.
