| This research tries to form an econometric model, using panel data approach, to examine the influence of unemployment and other socio - economic variables on homicide, larceny and suicide. Empirical evidence shows a direct relationship between unemployment and the above- said social abnormalities, though revealing themselves with one or two periodic lags. It should be mentioned that the destructive effects of unemployment exceeds that of inflation, so the anti-unemployment policies take priority over anti-inflationary policies if can not be implemented concurrently |
