Interação social e crimes violentos: uma análise empírica a partir dos dados do presídio de Papuda
Keywords:
Social interactions, Criminality, Sample selection biasAbstract
This article is based on the theoretical model developed by Becker ( 1968 ). which establishes the relationship between socialinteraction and illegal behaviour. Using data from the prison of Papuda in Distrito Federal, behaviour relations are estimated showing that the variables of social interaction as good family environment have negative effects on criminality rates. In addition, a selection bias model (HECKMAN, 1979) was used to estimate a behaviour function, the estimates ofwhich show a statistically significant difference in the modus operandi between people committing violent crime and those who not committing violent crime.
