犯罪可能与经济活动有关，特别是与失业有关，这一观点引起了相当大的政治争议。由于学术研究人员对经济力量在影响犯罪率方面所起的作用存在很大分歧，因此，政治家和其他人能够为他们截然相反的观点找到明显的支持也就不足为奇了。本文重新审视了犯罪与经济活动之间的联系。在第一节中，我们考虑犯罪可能与经济状况有关的可能原因。第二节调查了将犯罪与经济情况联系起来的证据。最后，在第三部分中，我们提出了一些新的结果，这些结果是使用英格兰和威尔士的年度和季度时间序列数据获得的，涉及商业周期与财产犯罪（即入室盗窃、抢劫和盗窃罪）之间的关系。处理赃物。
The idea that crime may be related to economic activity, and particularly unemployment, has caused considerable political controversy, As there is a great deal of disagreement amongst academic researchers about the influence which economic forces play in influencing the crime rate, it is hardly surprising that politicians and others can find apparently respectable support for their diametrically opposing views. This paper re-examines the association between crime and economic activity. In the first section we consider possible reasons why crime might be related to the state of the economy. The second section surveys the evidence linking crime to economic circumstances. Finally, in the third section we present some new results, obtained using both annual and quarterly time-series data for England and Wales, concerning the relationship between the business cycle and property crime, i.e. offences of burglary, robbery and theft and handling of stolen goods.
