Abstract: The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of economic problems on criminality in Indonesia. The data used in this research are secondary data sourced from the publication of the Central Bureau of Statistics, which consists of the crime rate as a dependent variable and the unemployment rate and the poverty rate as an independent variable. Furthermore, the object of this research is all provinces in Indonesia, consisting of 34 provinces. This research was analyzed using panel data regression analysis. Based on the results of regression panel data, it was found that partially, each unemployment rate and poverty rate had a positive and significant impact on the crime rate in Indonesia. Then, simultaneously, the unemployment rate and poverty rate have a positive and significant impact on the crime rate in Indonesia, with an adjusted R-squared value of 0.203. Based on these results, it can be concluded that to minimize the high crime rate in Indonesia, poverty and unemployment should be reduced Indonesia. In addition to improving economic conditions, this will also have an impact on reducing the crime rate in Indonesia.
