Abstract: The geographical features of Turkey which bridges the continents of Asia and Europe has caused a certain number of regional differences in terms of socio-economic development. These differences have emerged as a result of migration of people from socio-economically underdeveloped regions to the regions where life standards are high. Migration which is an economic and sociologic fact, has brought many problems to the migrating population and to the provinces they have migrated to, as well as being the most important fact that leads people to crime in Turkey. With the help of Judicial Statistics of 2002, this study aims to display the crime distribution in the provinces of Turkey and the effects of socio-economic differences in terms of criminal distribution. In this study, we have also identified provinces with the most tendency for crime. In doing so, we consider the socio-economic differences to be impinging on the criminal distribution primarily, but also look at the effects of migration, urbanization levels, socio economical development indexes and unemployment rates on crime. By using GIS (Geographical Information System) software, which provides the opportunity to store, to interrogate and to analyze geographical data in computer based systems, it has been possible to create a crime data base in the existing 81 provinces in Turkey, digital maps have been produced and a general crime analysis has been made with the application of spatial analysis. |
