SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CHOSEN SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF CRIME IN POMERANIAN VOIVODESHIP IN 2015

Abstract

The main assumption of the study conducted by the authors was to analyse the chosen determinants of crime in pomeranian voivodeship in 2015 with particular focus on their spatial variability. The collected data was intercorrelated using the method of signboard. One can notice a particular division of this administrative unit of Poland, where the dominant role in the crime phenomenon is played by social (e.g. in slupski district) or economic (e.g. in chojnicki district) factors. The results of the study provide a new outlook on the geography of crime, particularly the one covering the regions of Poland.
