Abstract

The recent literature reveals a growing interest in the relationship between economic and criminal activities. Besides the „classical“ question of deterrence, this paper surveys the recent developments about the role of labour markets and income inequalities. Based on a panel of the 11 former German Länder, it is tested whether the deterrence hypothesis is valid for Germany. There is only weak support for this hypothesisin the data. Moreover, a cross section of nations allows to analyse relationships between employment, education, income distribution, population density and criminal activity.
