- The role of social capital in the victimization risk against property: evidence from Brazil Gustavo Carvalho Moreira Ana Lucia Kassouf Marcelo Justus Economía y Finanzas Social cohesion Economy of crime Interpersonal trust The economic model of crime presupposes that individuals evaluate the decision to commit a crime rationally. A more inclusive version of this model would include social capital as a factor influencing criminal activity. The amount of social capital that exists within a group can be used to explain criminal behavior, and an increase in the level of social capital can be a factor capable of preventing crime. This study tests the hypothesis that increasing the level of social capital reduces the risk of victimization against property. Results from variations of an IV-Probit model were used to evaluate data from Latin American Public Opinion Project surveys conducted in Brazil. These results suggest that a higher level of social capital among individuals increases the likelihood that they will cooperate for mutual benefit, such as combating crime. 2019 artículo científico 0104-0618 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=395273832008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3952 Economia e Sociedade application/pdf Universidade Estadual de Campinas Economia e Sociedade (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.28
