Rurálna kriminalita a rurálne okresy Slovenska so zvýšenou kriminalitou

Rok, strany: 2010, 329 - 345

Despite the evident need, research into crime existing in rural areas is still missing in Slovakia. This article should be an answer to this situation and its ambition is to at least partially fill the gap in geographical research. The aim of the article is to prove the basic theoretical knowledge concerning rural crime in general and in Slovakia, to identify rural regions (districts) with increased crime and to briefly characterize selected factors that contribute to this situation. Appurtenant analyses relied on Statistical Statements on Crime in districts of the Slovak Republic in 2000-2002 (Prezídium policajného zboru 2003), regional data of the Statistical Office (ŠÚSR 2009) and the Centre of Labour, Social Affairs and Family (ÚPSVaR 2008). Analysis and explanation of causes of increased crime in the empirical part of the article is based on the concept of multiple disadvantages. Results confirmed that all studied relevant factors in districts reach negative values and may represent the key factors of high crime level in these regions.
