dc.description.abstractThe fluctuation in crime rate (both violent & non-violent) in any country is a significant factor in that country’s economy. Determining the variables affecting the rate of crime is a critical component for any country. There have been numerous research studies on the determinants of violent & non-violent crimes in many countries including Pakistan to help evaluate the factors that may impact the rate of crime. The purpose of this study was to examine the contributing factors to crime rate in Pakistan. The two main types of crimes were further divided into sub categories. Numerous data sources were used to acquire relevant data including WDI & SWIID. The data was taken for the years of 1984 to 2016. Time series data for Pakistan was explored for this research work. The data was analyzed using the NG-Perron Unit Root test informing the mixed order of integration. ARDL was then utilized to determine the short-term and long-term results for the data. The results of the analysis indicated that the variables of interest (tax reform, development expenditure & corruption) showed significance in all models for violent & non violent crimes. Overall the findings of the study suggested that the variables especially Tax reforms, development expenditure and corruption studied in this research highly impact the crime rate in Pakistan
