流动人口、收入差距与犯罪

Floating Population,Income Inequality and Crime

改革开放后,我国流动人口与犯罪在历史周期、空间布局、结构特征方面存在诸多相似之处,流动人口的犯罪成因及其与社会整体犯罪率的相互关系成为亟待研究的社会问题。低收入、高财产犯罪是我国流动人口及其犯罪的显著特征,犯罪经济学有关收入差距与犯罪的理论和实证研究为这一问题的研究提供了比较合适的分析框架,应用这一分析框架研究流动人口、收入差距与犯罪的文献日益增多。从流动人口与犯罪,流动人口、收入差距与犯罪的理论研究与经验研究三个不同层面,综述相关研究文献,梳理这一研究领域的理论发展脉络,并作出相应的评价和研究展望。

After China adopted the reform and opening- up policy, its crime is found to have similarities with its floating population in terms of cycles, spatial distribution and structure. Thus it is the crimes committed by floating population and the relationship between floating crime rate. In China, the floating population is characterized by low income and could be fitted into the framework of criminal economics that studies the linkage imperative to study the causes of population and the overall social high property crime rate, which between income gap and crime rate. Many researches have applied this framework to studying the relation among floating population, income ine- quality and crime rate, which results in a huge literature. The present paper reviews the theoretical development in this field from three aspects： floating population and crime, theoretical studies on floating population, income ine- quality and crime, empirical studies on their relationships. We also give our comments on existing studies and i- dentify areas for future study.
