| 中文摘要(Abstrct) | |
| ABSTRCT | This study uses a panel data of Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2; generally known as suburbs) in Brisbane regions of Australia from 2002 to 2010, to examine the effects of various factors on four categories of crime (including total
crime rate, property crime, violent crime and drug crime). The results show that the conventional socioeconomic and demographic factors, such as “unemployment rate”, “income” and “population density”, have the expected influence on
criminal behaviours. Moreover, the demographic factor “male25-29” had positive effect on drug crime possibly because of the highest percentage of illicit drug use in Australians’ late 20s. The demographic variable “male30-49”, as
an indicator of male population with a higher opportunity costs of committing crime, had the expected discouraging effect on violent crime but not on drug crime. Drug crime may be less age-specific probably due to addiction developing
that continues through life. |
