Alternatively, one might treat crime control as an ordinary policy issue, like transportation or the control of pollution, in which policies are to be judged by their outcomes, including their costs. In Trinidad and Tobago the policy agenda and the public are demanding stronger measures to deal with rising crime. This paper evaluates empirically the effect of the criminal justice system and socio-economic conditions on serious crime (which includes both property and violent crime) in Trinidad and Tobago over the period 1970-2007. Our study finds that the crime detection rate, unemployment rate, the percentage of females in the labour force and the percentage of the labour force with tertiary education are very important in determining criminal behaviour.
