Abstract

In this work, we investigate the effects of economic variables on crime rates in selected mesoregions of the State of Minas Gerais; and we also develop a comparative analysis between regions of high crime, with those of low rates of violent crimes. The models used to analyze the data consist of panel data: Pooled, Fixed Effects and Random Effects. The paper pointed out that the age range of 15 to 29 is more likely to commit crimes.
