Mathematical Model of Crime and Literacy Rates


Ruhul Amin
Abstract

This study explores the use of Mathematical modeling of crime behaviour which helps to establish the relationship between crimes and socio-economic factors. The concentration of criminal activities is not proportional in every area. Criminal activities depend on socio-economic factors like population densities, unemployment, literacy rate, per capita income, schedule castes and schedule tribes etc. There is a correlation between the volume of crime and literacy rate. The equation of the line of regression is formulated to interpret the nature of relationship between crimes and literacy rate.

Keywords
Per capita income, Regression equation, literacy rate, Volume of crime
