The Spatial Interactions between Economic Crimes, per capita Income and Unemployment: 2014 Turkey Case

Öz

Crimes are actions and behaviors deemed harmful to society by the legislator. Beside the psychological, sociological, economic factors that reveal the crime also spatial factors are important. According to the basic law of geography, everything is related to everything else. But close things are more related than distant things. Thus, this study examines the spatial interactions between per capita income and unemployment rates and economic crimes via the Explanatory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA). The results indicate significant spatial relationships in respect to the crime of smuggling for Gaziantep, Hakkâri and Iğdır provinces.

Ekonomik Suçlar, Gelir ve İşsizliğin Mekânsal İlişkisi: 2014 Türkiye İncelemesi

Öz

Suç, kanun koyucu tarafından topluma zararlı kabul edilen eylem ve davranışlardır. Suçu ortaya çıkaran psikolojik, sosyolojik, ekonomik vb. faktörlerin yanında, mekânsal faktörler de önem arz etmektedir. Coğrafyanın temel yasası gereği, her şey başka her şeyle alakalıdır. Ancak yakın şeyler, uzak şeylere göre daha fazla ilişkilidir. Buradan hareketle, bu çalışmada kişi başına gelir ve işsizlik oranları ile ekonomik suçlar arasındaki mekânsal etkileşimler, açıklayıcı mekânsal veri analizi yardımıyla (ESDA, Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis) incelenmektedir. Sonuçlar, kaçakçılık suçu ile Gaziantep, Hakkâri ve Iğdır illeri için anlamlı mekânsal ilişkileri işaret etmektedir.
