The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship existing between inequality and crime.
Once the main definitions needed for the analysis have been set out, the link existing
between inequality and crime has been deeply investigated through an empirical perspective
and then through an agent based model approach.
Many previous papers have explored the relationship existing between the two phenomena
through econometric techniques, and a positive correlation was found, but often econometric
tools are limited in explaining social problems such as crime.
For this reason, in this paper we use an Agent-based modeling (ABM) approach, which is a
type of simulation study, produced via a computer software, in this case Netlogo, that
develops a virtual society and allows for controlled experimentation.
Once the simulation has been carried out, by looking at the results we can say that
according to our model, inequality and crime rates are positively related. [-]
