INTRODUCTION

• The paper focuses on analyzing the relationship between crime rate and the demographic
factors.
• The specific factors discussed are the level of income, age, race, gender, unemployment
among others
INTRODUCTION
LITERATURE REVIEW

• According to South and Messner (2000); demographic factors such as race, age and sex
are critical in understanding the crime rates and its variation both temporary and spatially.
• If the economic situation changes, the expected crime rate will reduce. Economic theory
predicts the crime rate to increase during economic recessions (Conley & Wang, 2006).
• To minimize the relationship between crime and economy, governments are forced to
spend a high percentage of the budget on law enforcement agencies, running prison
facilities, running detention facilities, equipping law enforcement agencies with modern
crime control tools and initiating crime control programs (Atkinson et al., 2005).
LITERATURE REVIEW

• Broken windows theory provides the relationship between crime and demographic
factors. The theory postulates that when low-level offenses or crimes such as breaking
windows of houses or cars are ignored, they create a basis for more severe crimes to
thrive (Chakraborty, 2018).
• .A survey conducted by Adolphe Quetelet, who lived between 1831 and 1984, found that
crime rate peak in the population of adolescents and early adults; after that, it begins to
decline.
