摘要
This study investigates the relationship between unemployment and crime in the Philippines. It concludes that there is weak support for the negative (opportunity effect) relationship between unemployment and crime. The use of national-level time series data is probably an inappropriate way to test the unemployment-crime relationship because unemployment and crime variables have been demonstrated to exhibit a tremendous degree of variability at the local level.
