The Relationship Between Crime and Economics Growth in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia has abundant natural resources and human resources. Those diversities can accelerate the pace of the economy. However, along with that, the number of crimes becomes a serious problem. This study examines another angle in economic growth by using the number of crimes and economic variables in influencing economic growth. Using panel data on provinces in Indonesia is expected to be able to comprehensively see the relationship between Human Development Index, Investment, the level of corruption and the level of crime against economic growth in Indonesia.
