Poverty, Inequality, Political Instability and Property Crimes in Pakistan a Time Series Analysis
Poverty, Inequality, Political Instability and Property Crimes in Pakistan A Time Series Analysis Shabib Haider Syed* Eatzaz Ahmad∗ ABSTRACT In a formal econometric analysis of crime statistics in Pakistan, this paper estimates five systems of equations determining crime rates against property, conviction rates and police and justice input using time series annual data. The study finds substantial empirical support for the model of crime, punishment and deterrence based on economic theory. The main conclusion of the study is that in the fight against crime Pakistan needs to divert resources from provision of legal justice through various deterrence measures, like large police force, conviction and punishment, towards the provision of social justice in the form of fight against poverty, inequality and unemployment and maintenance of political stability, especially by controlling sect and ethnic based terrorists activities. Resources also need to be diverted from punishments to apprehension of criminals. Keywords: crime deterrence, inequality, Pakistan, political instability, poverty.

INTRODUCTION Crime is a complex socio-economic phenomenon, which needs to be addressed by social scientists as well as policy makers at the regional and global levels. The extensive research on the causes of crime has resulted in rich theoretical foundations. In the first formal treatment of economics of crime, Becker (1968) emphasized that criminals act as rational maximizing agents while making choices, keeping in view the expected benefits and costs of committing crime. -

Effects of Socio-Economic and Political Factors on the Crime Rate in Pakistan
Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 23, Issue - 1, 2016, 183:206 Effects of Socio-Economic and Political Factors on the Crime Rate in Pakistan Nabila Asghar, Shazia Qureshi and Muhammad Nadeem* Abstract The present study is an attempt to explore the impact of social, economic and political factors and the event of 9/11 on crimes in Pakistan for the period 1984-2013. Three models have been estimated for political, economic and social factors separately. The political factors like corruption, law and order, 9/11 event, have been found to increase crimes, whereas government stability reduces the crimes. The economic factors such as poverty increase crimes whereas foreign remittances and external debt reduce crimes. In social factors human rights, human capital, income inequality and population density increase crimes. In short run, error correction terms indicate that there is convergence towards the equilibrium in all the models in case of any shock. Various diagnostic tests have been applied to confirm the reliability of results which indicate that there is no problem of autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity in the models. The study suggests that in order to mitigate criminal activities policy makers should focus on political, social and economic problems faced by Pakistan. Keywords: Law and order, Human rights, Government stability, ARDL, Socio- economic and political factors JEL Classification: A13, C01, H01, J83, K00, P47 I. Introduction Any illegal act or activity that is punishable by law is crime. Crime is an act of human conduct that is harmful to others and the state is bound to prevent it. Crime renders the person liable to punishment as a result of proceeding instigated by the state organs assigned to ascertain the nature, the extent and the legal consequences of the person’s wrongness” (for detail see Auolak, 1999). -

INTRODUCTION Women in Pakistan suffer widespread human rights violations. Police officers torture and rape women in their custody with impunity. If the victims bring complaints of rape before the courts, unless they can prove that they did not give their consent they may be punished for unlawful sexual intercourse under laws which explicitly discriminate against women. Women face cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments such as floggings and stoning to death. The discrimination against women in law reinforces their vulnerability to other human rights violations. Women's rights are seen as being of secondary importance and women are in a particularly weak position if they try to gain redress.
