“…-the key variable of interest is related to crime exposure, it is a binary variable taking value 1 if a firm experienced losses as a result of theft, robbery, vandalism, arson on its premises or from Internet hacking or fraudulent Internet transactions, -size and age of the firm. While larger and older firms might be more strategically oriented towards continuing business operation, 31 it is often small and young firms that are in a sink or swim situation. The majority of small firms do not grow rapidly, and those that do experience high growth, experience it in discrete episodes, rather than continuously.…”

“…Economic conditions were represented by 3 variables—unemployment rates, median household incomes, and poverty rates. There is evidence that economic variables are related to crime rates51 and to child health (eg, low birth weight and preterm birth) 52,53. Note that there is evidence that unemployment may play a complex role in health, with higher unemployment associated with a lower incidence of low birth weight and infant mortality (at least partly due to better maternal health behavior during unemployment) 54.…”

Children's health indicators such as mortality and adverse birth outcomes are poorer in the United States than in comparable nations. These measures also show racial inequities within the United States, with Black children experiencing the highest levels. Mass incarceration may partially explain these findings. High incarceration rates can disrupt community functioning, influencing behavior and health. The purpose of the current study was to conduct a macro (state)-level analysis examining whether yearly state incarceration rates predict health outcomes including infant, child, and teen mortality as well as preterm birth and low birth weight. It was hypothesized that prior year incarceration rates would show positive relationships with all outcomes and that relationships would be stronger for Black than for white children. Yearly state-level panel data were gathered from 1990 to 2017. Weighted least squares regression used states' prior year incarceration rates to predict child health outcomes, using controls for overall state effects and year-to-year effects. Time-varying covariates such as state unemployment rate were also included to address the possibility of spurious relationships. Results indicated that as hypothesized, incarceration rates positively predicted infant mortality, child mortality (for Black children only), preterm births, and low-weight births. Relationships tended to be stronger for Black than for white children.

“…The presence of densely populated slum areas is equivalent to high levels of crime and low quality of life. Becker (Rocque et al, 2019) states that people who do not have a job and a steady income or are unemployed can commit criminal acts and turn into criminals. This is influenced by the low costs required, as well as high yields or profits so that they are able to meet their daily needs.…”

Crime can occur anywhere and at any time, including in the residential environment. This is no exception for the Bekasi city community. According to the Bekasi City Central Statistics Agency, there is an increase in crime of 12% in 2021 and an increase of 75% in 2022. On this basis, an effective government role is needed to protect the community from crime in their environment, so this research was carried out with the aim of finding out the role of government in overcoming crimes that occur in society. This research was conducted in RW 023 Teluk Pucung Village, North Bekasi District, Bekasi City, West Java using qualitative descriptive methods. The data collection technique used was purposive sampling with a total of 10 people and consisted of elements of the community, RW, and local security forces. The data that has been obtained will be analyzed using nVivo and content analysis. The conclusion from this research is that crimes across the RW 023 area vary greatly, from theft to sexual disclosures. Based on what residents and the local government (RT and RW) said, if a crime is discovered, it will be handled in the RT area. If the RT area still needs to be finished, then the handling will continue to the RW area. In handling this, people generally use family mediation techniques, although this only closes the way for litigation settlement if there is common ground in mediation.
