The Effect of Increasing Temperature on Crime

Abstract

Climate change is often associated with society's socioeconomic conditions, impacting people's welfare. On an ongoing basis, the level of interest will affect the crime rate in an area. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature changes on theft and abuse. The data used in this study are temperature data and data on theft and abuse. Besides that, this study also uses other data such as regional status, GRDP per capita, and village classification to test the model. This research uses the multiple linear regression method. The results obtained in this study showed that an increase in temperature impacted the theft and abuse that occurred in an area. Gradually increasing temperature reduces people's productivity, which will affect the level of people's welfare. The government's role is to handle this problem quickly and thoroughly. In addition, mitigating public interest due to the impact of climate change is an essential issue in maintaining the stability of the socioeconomic conditions of the community.
