| Summary: | In this study, it was aimed to examine geographically the prisoners who were imprisoned for theft, looting and fraud in Turkey between 1990-2020. A multiple linear regression analysis was also conducted in the study, which used quantitative and qualitative research methods. During the specified period, 708,982 people were imprisoned in Turkey for the aforementioned crimes. Accordingly, 20.1% of those imprisoned in Turkey during the 31-year period are those convicted of the crimes stated. Especially after 2011, an increase is observed in the rate of those imprisoned for the crimes stated. As a matter of fact, the annual average of those who were imprisoned for the crimes mentioned in the 9-year period after 2011 (46,972) is almost as much as the population of the Faroe Islands in 2021. In the specified period, 95.38% of the convicts imprisoned for the aforementioned crimes were men and 4.62% were women. In addition, a regression analysis questioning the relationship between the rate of those who were imprisoned for the crimes stated in the study and three independent variables (unemployment rates by province, the ratio of the population of the province to the population of the country, the proportion of people registered in another province’s population) was also included. According to the multiple regression analysis, a highly statistically significant relationship was found between the proportion of those registered in the population of another province and those who were imprisoned for the specified crimes. Accordingly, it is possible to say that the more the rate of those who are registered to the population of other provinces increases, the more the rate of those who are imprisoned for the crimes stated increases. This shows that theft, plunder and fraud crimes are most easily committed in cosmopolitan provinces. Bu çalışmada 1990-2020 döneminde Türkiye’de hırsızlık, yağma ve dolandırıcılık suçlarından hapse giren mahkûmların coğrafi açıdan incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel ve nitel araştırma yöntemleri ... |
