Abstract
Crime is a social issue that often impacts the well-being of the community. In Jakarta alone, approximately 214 crimes per 100,000 residents were recorded in 2023. This study aims to analyze the impact of economic factors on the crime rate in Jakarta Province during the 2017–2024 period. The independent variables include decent housing, poverty, and education, while the dependent variable is the crime rate. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, analyzed through panel data regression with the Common Effect Model. The findings reveal that decent housing, poverty, education and public spending significantly affect crime rates. Simultaneously, all four independent variables significantly affect crime rates, with the coefficient of determination reaching 86,81%. These results highlight that crime prevention policies in urban areas should primarily focus on improving education quality, while also addressing housing conditions and poverty alleviation as supporting measures.
