CRIMINAL INCIDENCE AND ITS RELATION TO THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF MEXICAN MICRO AND SMALL COMPANIES

Abstract

This article examines the statistical relationship between the incidence of crime, the perception of security, the cost of crime and the birth, death and life expectancy of micro-enterprises. The Pearson correlation analysis and the z and t tests for two samples were used as statistical methods. It was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between one of the dimensions associated with the perception of security and the life expectancy in businesses of 6 to 10 employees, as well as between the crime of extortion and the life expectancy of businesses from 11 to 15 employees.
