SOCIOECONOMIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS INFLUENCING CRIME AMONG PAKISTANI MEN

Abstract

Over the past ten years, Pakistan's crime rate has sharply climbed. High unemployment, growing poverty, rising inflation rapidly, and urbanized environments could all be contributing factors. It is also caused by a few non-economic factors. Crime victims sometimes suffer significant losses, but those who have not yet been harmed experience anxiety brought on by worry and fear. The entire system of productive labor and daily life is impacted by these circumstances. With reference to "Central Jail Karachi," the chosen study was created. Using a stratiform sampling technique, the 301 male prisoners with convictions were chosen. They were interviewed in order to gather the data. While some of the questions were open-ended, the majority were closed-ended. Counters and their percentages were created for every question, and the chi-square method was used to test the validity of the hypothesis and determine any potential relationships between the variables.
