Abstract

Utilizing statistical data from 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2013 to 2023, this study empirically analyzes the mechanisms by which the social credit environment and financing levels influence criminal crime rates. The research finds that both the social credit environment and financing levels significantly contribute to reducing regional crime rates; financing levels serve as a mediating bridge between the social credit environment and criminal crime rates. Notably, the extent of the impact of the social credit environment on criminal crime rates varies significantly between regions with large and small urban-rural income disparities. These findings provide new policy perspectives for optimizing social governance and the allocation of financial resources.

社会信用环境、融资水平和刑事犯罪率

本文利用2013 - 2023年中国31个省级行政区的统计数据，实证分析了社会信用环境和融资水平对犯罪犯罪率的影响机制。研究发现，社会信用环境和融资水平对降低区域犯罪率都有显著的促进作用；融资水平是社会信用环境与刑事犯罪率之间的中介桥梁。值得注意的是，社会信用环境对犯罪犯罪率的影响程度在城乡收入差距大、城乡收入差距小的地区之间存在显著差异。这些发现为优化社会治理和金融资源配置提供了新的政策视角。
