Ketimpangan Ekonomi, Kemiskinan dan Akses Informasi : Bagaimana Pengaruhnya Terhadap Kriminalitas ?

Abstract

This study aims to assess the linkage between inequality and information access concerning criminal acts in Indonesia. Macro-level data of 33 provinces in Indonesia during 2012-2017 from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) were analyzed using panel data regression methods. The analysis affirms that Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is the most appropriate model in explaining criminal behavior. Interestingly, poverty reduction leads in increasing crime activity. There is not enough evidence that inequality and information access influence crime. It is necessary to reconsider the use of microdata to determine the effect of inequality and access to information on crime.

“…The vertical line shows the percentage of the total income of certain community groups or residents. At the same time, the horizontal line shows the number of residents who receive income (Mardinsyah & Sukartini, 2020). The Lorenz curve also has a diagonal line that shows a perfectly even income distribution.…”

“…The Lorenz curve is a curve that shows the relationship between the percentage of total income and the percentage of income recipients. This Lorenz curve shows the bond or relationship for certain periods (Mardinsyah & Sukartini, 2020).…”

“…When the Lorenz curve gets closer to the line, the inequality gets smaller. If the Lorenz curve is away from the line, the inequality gets bigger (Figure 1) (Mardinsyah & Sukartini, 2020).…”

Ketimpangan Ekonomi Berdampak pada Tingkat Kriminalitas? Telaah dalam Perspektif Psikologi Problematika Sosial

“…Bertolak belakang dengan hasil penelitian di atas, terdapat penelitian lain yang menunjukkan hasil berbeda. Penelitian tersebut dilakukan oleh Mardianysah & Sukartini (2020) dan Rina (2019) yang mendapatkan hasil bahwa ketimpangan ekonomi berpengaruh secara tidak signifikan terhadap kriminalitas. Bahkan hasil penelitian Rina (2019) memiliki kecenderungan bahwa ketimpangan ekonomi berpengaruh negatif terhadap kriminalitas.…”

Pengaruh Aspek Sumber Daya Manusia Terhadap Jumlah Kriminalitas di Sumatera Selatan Tahun 2019

“…Standar kesuksesan suatu pembangunan negara salah satunya dapat dilihat dari pertumbuhan ekonomi dan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) dari negara tersebut. Menurut Seer dalam Mardiyansyah (2020), bahwa pembangunan suatu negara dikategorikan berhasil jika dapat mengatasi masalah kemiskinan, ketimpangan ekonomi dan pengangguran. Jika ketiga hal tersebut belum dapat teratasi maka akan menimbulkan banyak permasalahan, diantaranya banyaknya pengangguran dan tindak kriminalitas.…”
