ABSTRACT: This paper explores the relationship between macroeconomic factors and crime rates, focusing on case studies. It examines the question: to what extent do macroeconomic factors influence global violent crime rates, and how do legislative interventions affect this dynamic? The methodology employs quantitative analysis of various economic indicators alongside qualitative case studies of the United States of America, Japan, Malaysia, and Romania. Findings suggest a significant impact of economic factors on crime rates. The dynamic between unemployment and inflation is crucial to decoding general trends; however, other factors such as region, inequality, and poverty also affect crime rates. While economic variables play a role, other social, cultural, and legislative factors also contribute to crime dynamics. The cohesion between economic stability and legislative interventions emerges as a crucial determinant in shaping societal safety and well-being.
