摘要:In this article it is investigated the convergence of crime rates in 81 provinces in Turkey during the 1998–2006 period by applying unit root persistence methodology. The IPS (Im-Peseran Shin ) tests illustrated that one cannot reject the null hypothesis of unit root for the assault,swindling,smuggling,opposition to the bankruptcy and enforcement law,production and use of drug and bribery of each state relative to a reference unit. The results,therefore,illustrate a very strong form of persistence for 81 provinces in Turkey assault,swindling,smuggling,opposition to the bankruptcy and enforcement law,production and use of drug and bribery crimes.
