Crime is a social issue that often impacts the well-being of the community. In Jakarta alone, approximately 214 crimes per 100,000 residents were recorded in 2023. This study aims to analyze the impact of economic factors on the crime rate in Jakarta Province during the 2017–2024 period. The independent variables include decent housing, poverty, and education, while the dependent variable is the crime rate. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, analyzed through panel data regression with the Common Effect Model. The findings reveal that decent housing, poverty, education and public spending significantly affect crime rates. Simultaneously, all four independent variables significantly affect crime rates, with the coefficient of determination reaching 86,81%. These results highlight that crime prevention policies in urban areas should primarily focus on improving education quality, while also addressing housing conditions and poverty alleviation as supporting measures.

The study concludes that decent housing and poverty have a negative and significant effect on crime in DKI Jakarta, indicating that improvements in these areas can reduce crime rates.Conversely, education and household expenditure have a positive and significant effect on crime, suggesting that while education is important, it must be coupled with sufficient employment opportunities.Therefore, a comprehensive approach integrating improvements in education, decent housing, and poverty alleviation is crucial for effective crime prevention in DKI Jakarta.

Further research should investigate the nuanced relationship between education levels and crime, exploring whether specific educational programs or vocational training can more effectively reduce criminal activity. Additionally, studies could examine the impact of informal economic activities and social safety nets on crime rates in Jakarta, considering the role of economic vulnerability beyond traditional poverty measures. Finally, research is needed to assess the effectiveness of community-based crime prevention initiatives, focusing on how local participation and social cohesion can contribute to safer neighborhoods and reduce the demand for criminal behavior. These investigations, building upon the current studys findings, will provide valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to address the complex challenges of urban crime in Indonesia, requiring at least 150 words to fully explore these avenues for future research and policy development.
