Abstract

ABSTRACT This study uses situational action theory (SAT) to analyse the effects of socioeconomic disadvantages on criminality rates (namely, robbery) in Brazilian municipalities. To achieve this objective, the variation of robberies per thousand inhabitants was used as a proxy for criminality, estimating its determinants using a spatial panel data set. As a result, we identified social disadvantage greater effect (i.e. variation of the mean Education and Health Firjan indices) when compared to economic disadvantage on the criminality in Brazilian municipalities. This effect was more noticeable in regions with poorer social infrastructure. Moreover, the crime environment to which individuals are exposed has a positive association in the determination of illegal acts, confirming arguments made by SAT.

犯罪和社会经济劣势：巴西各城市的空间分析

摘要本研究采用情景行动理论（SAT）分析了社会经济劣势对巴西城市犯罪率（即抢劫）的影响。为了实现这一目标，每千名居民抢劫案的变化被用作犯罪的指标，使用空间面板数据集估计其决定因素。因此，我们发现，与经济劣势相比，社会劣势对巴西城市犯罪的影响更大（即平均教育和健康Firjan指数的变化）。这种影响在社会基础设施较差的地区更为明显。此外，个人所处的犯罪环境与非法行为的确定有着积极的联系，这证实了SAT的论点。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
