P005 - A possible correlation between poverty, age, gender and the crimes of driving under influence, driving a vehicle with false or without registration numbers

• In Event: Poster Session & Ice Cream Social

Abstract

Three types of crimes are often met in Romanian criminal law courts: driving under influence, driving a vehicle with false registration numbers or without registration numbers. It seems, from an intuitive perspective, however, that these crimes are often committed by young (rather than elderly) men (rather than women) who come mainly from a low-income family or have a low income. This study aims to analyze the data regarding these crimes and the possible correlation between the gender, age and income, and to search a possible explanation for this correlation.
