“…These findings were backed up by Machin and Meghir (2004) for property crimes in England and Wales. In addition, similar conclusions were reached for Ireland by both Hargaden (2016) and Brosnan (2018) after examining the relationship between the Irish labour market and property crime.…”

The economic approach to crime confirms that the deterioration of economic conditions influences the motivation of potential offenders to commit a crime or not. The relationship between crime and the economy status received considerable attention among the international literature. However, in Spain, there are just few studies that analyse this connection, and those that analyse the influence of the deterioration of the economy on crime after the crisis that began in 2008 are practically nonexistent. In order to fill this gap, this research applies the difference-GMM estimator for a sample of 47 provinces during the 2010-2018 period and controls the influence of different economic, demographic and dissuasive factors on the crime rate. The results obtained are similar to those of different investigations, since in the face of worsening economic conditions, no evidence of a positive and uniform effect on the crime rate is detected, especially when it differs according to different types of crimes possible. However, that relationship does exist and is robust in property crimes. Another common result in the empirical literature is also confirmed: adolescent male cohorts present the highest crime rates.
