چکیده
This paper examines whether economic factors significantly associate to the propensity of gang-related crimes and non-gang crimes in Lane County. To conduct this study, Detective Harvey of the Eugene Police Department’s gang task force supplied data with recorded gang-related and non-gang arrests in Eugene and Springfield from 2003 through 2012. The data was organized quarterly with number of arrests by felony types through the given years stated. Original Least Squares method was then used to determine whether economic factors have distinguishable relationships on gang-related crimes and non-gang related crimes in Lane County. We find that income and unemployment are not significantly associated to the propensity of non-gang crimes. In addition, we find that unemployment is significantly associated to the propensity of gangrelated crimes. Acknowledgements: We would like to thank our advisor, Professor Joe Stone, for his guidance and helpful input into this study. Additionally, we would like to thank Detective Greg Harvey of the Eugene Police Department, whose willingness to provide critical insight on crimes in Lane County and crime data made this paper possible.
