Abstract
This study examines the determinants of crime in metropolitan areas. Cities all around the world deal with crime. Crime detrimentally impacts society by impeding economic growth, social instability, undermining safety, and many more negative effects. This paper aims to use existing international research, thereby facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the determinants of crime in metropolitan areas. This research investigates certain socio-economic factors that influence the crime rate in metropolitan areas such as income, population density, and unemployment. The goal of this research is to contribute to bridging the gap in our understanding of the determinants of crime. By identifying and understanding the underlying causes of crime can lead to effective strategies for reducing the overall crime rate.
