ANALYSIS MODEL OF SOCIO-CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT ON CRIMINALITY RATE: A RURAL CASE STUDY

Abstract

Objective: Criminality in Indonesia is still a serious problem that threatens public safety and order. A study was conducted to analyze how improving the socio-cultural environment can reduce crime in Indonesia. Method: This study uses primary data obtained from 100 respondents who are detainees in several police stations, and uses logistic regression analysis to test the influence of several socio-cultural environmental factors. Results: The results of the analysis show that the social environment in the form of increased employment, family relationships, and ethnicity can reduce the incidence of repeat criminality in Indonesia. This finding highlights that it is necessary to pay attention to socio-cultural environmental factors in designing crime prevention and response policies. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that special attention should be paid to factors such as employment, family relations, and ethnicity in crime prevention and control efforts. Research Implications: A well-integrated policy strategy can also help reduce crime rates in an area.
