Throughout history, economic crises have not only affected economic systems but also affected all sections of society. Many socioeconomic phenomena, from workers to students, from crime rates to poverty, from family life to income distribution, have been affected by crises. In the study, although it is not possible to examine all these socioeconomic effects individually, the impact of crises on the concepts of unemployment, crime and suicide is examined. As a result of the study conducted with the help of Granger Causality Analysis, a negative causality relationship is found between economic crisis and unemployment. This finding, which supports many studies in the literature, has been associated with the phenomenon of jobless growth. The hypothesis that the unemployment variable is the Granger cause of the suicide variable is confirmed by the analysis. Although the hypothesis that the phenomenon of crime is reflected through unemployment is not confirmed, a positive causality relationship emerges with the economic crises. Due to the lack of data provided by the Turkish Statistical Institute and the fact that other studies are not up to date, poverty data could not be reached. This, in turn, is accepted as the constraint of the study.
