abstract: 'This study examines the relationship between tertiary education and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
property crime in Malaysia from 1982 to 2020 using the ARDL approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The study is motivated by the concern that underpaid individuals with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher education may resort to property crime. Results reveal that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female labour force is positively associated with burglary in the short
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
run. Furthermore, income per capita is also found to be another
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributing factor to property crime. Increased income levels and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improvements in welfare schemes can contribute to reduced crime rates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interestingly, the study finds that more individuals with tertiary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education are associated with higher property crime rates. Property
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crime can flourish when the skills and qualifications of highly educated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job seekers do not match labour needs or when suitable employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities are scarce. Enhancing job quality, ensuring fair wages,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate job matching, and promoting a well-balanced employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environment may discourage highly educated individuals from turning to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crime. Moreover, imprisonment does not act as a deterrent for property
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crime. The findings may be relevant for curbing property crime in other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developing countries experiencing a rise in tertiary education, sluggish
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income growth, and low female labour participation.'
