An Analysis of Crimes by the Method of Principal Components

B. Ahamad

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1967, vol. 16, issue 1, 17-35

Abstract: The analysis has shown that, for some crimes, most of the variation over recent years can be reproduced by considering only one component. Moreover, this component appears to be identified with population change, suggesting that much of the increase in the crime rate can be “explained” by the rapid increase in population.
