Abstract

China's economy has been under attack with declining economic growth as the post-COVID-19 ushered in. In addition, there is a complicated relationship between economic growth and the crime rate. We analyze the specific impact of the decline of economic growth in the future on the crime rate from three perspectives of western classical criminology theories: social stratification and mobility theory, social anomie theory, and control theory. We also discuss measures to control the crime rate in the face of the decline of economic growth, mainly including improving the quality of economic development, refining the social security system, and developing education. We wish to supply some references for crime rate control in China.
