AB - This study empirically analyzes the impacts of social support policies(1996-2005) on crime rates(1997-2006) by using panel data of 13 Korean regional governments in which police agencies are located. In this paper, the construct "social support policies" was operationalized into the four policy variables which were "hodevpp"(Housing and Community Development Policy), "helifepp"(Health and Living Environment Policy), "educclpp"(Educational and Cultural Policy), and "welfarpp"(Welfare Policy) through the scale composed of regional public expenditures. Some other variables(the third variables or control variables) except four policy variables associated with social support policies that are expected to affect regional crime rates were included in the model as independent variables, and the crime rates related to specific crimes against persons(murder, robbery, rape and aggravated assault) and larceny were operationalized into dependent variables on the basis of the literature review, the theories that explain the changes of crime rates, and the annual regional expenditure items. The empirical results based on the two-way, fixed-effect panel data method of statistical analysis indicated that social support policies(1996-2005) didn't seem to have significantly suppressive effects on crime rates(1997-2006) in Korean regional governments.
