A New Reflection on Prevention of Some Effective Economic Contexts in the Perpetration of a Crime

Nowadays, macroeconomic variables such as poverty, economic and income inequality and unemployment are among the important and fundamental factors known in the occurrence (perpetration) of crimes. The prevention in its variety of approaches especially corrective (penitentiary) and mechanical approaches requires long-term financial plans and costs. Providing optimal prevention in various economic contexts of crime perpetration is the purpose of this research. The authors in this article, which is a descriptive-analytical and critical study on the types of crime prevention have explained the concepts of prioritization and continuity in both the analysis of criminogenic contexts and related to the field of prevention by referring to experimental researches. However, studies of crime economics (cost-benefit) usually evaluate the effects of these causes separately. This segregated approach has also been dominant in social prevention in the field of crime prevention. The results indicate that some of the economic contexts of crime perpetration including poverty, economic inequality and income are affected by the unemployment rate, so they have a positive and significant relationship with this macroeconomic variable. The other findings of the present study indicate some criminal origins called organized crimes. Therefore, these factors, in addition to being independent factors for petty crimes (minor crimes) such as theft and murder in the community can be caused by organized and economic crimes. The path should be paved for more effective mechanical prevention and punishment by optimal economic allocation in the field of prevention approaches, instead of providing the same financial costs.
