dc.description.abstract | Many empirical studies of crime assume that victims and
perpetrators live in a single geographical unit, the implication being that
the socio-economic characteristics of victims’ places of residence can
be treated as determinants of crime. This study offers an alternative
approach which consists in measuring crime by the proportion of alleged
offenders in the whole population and treating the characteristics of their
home communes as socio-economic causes of criminal behaviour. The
conclusion is that those charged with crimes present a high degree of
geographic mobility. In the case of economically motivated crimes, the
evidence partly supports Becker’s propositions. Lastly, we show that the
number of people charged with crimes tends to be greater in communes
that have low incomes, a larger police presence, a predominance of urban
areas with higher levels of education and a geographical location in the
north of the country, which to some degree bears out the findings of other
studies on Chile. | |
