Resumo

Este artigo investiga, desde uma abordagem da análise econômica do crime, que papel teve a idade nas taxas de criminalidade após a crise econômica de 2008 para uma amostra de 24 países da União Europeia (UE). Para fazer isso, é estabelecido um modelo de dados em painel com efeitos fixos, com base nos dados do Eurostat, e é realizada uma análise empírica dos fatores que influenciam a delinquência na UE, adoptando o método dos mínimos quadrados. Os resultados coincidem com a literatura existente: jovens entre 15 e 19 anos têm maior probabilidade de cometer crimes e, à medida que envelhecem, sua atividade criminal diminui. Esta pesquisa é inédita e contribui com novos resultados para a controvérsia acadêmica sobre a influência do estado da economia na delinquência, pois confirma que a deterioração das condições econômicas é um fator que potencializa a delinquência na União Europeia, especialmente os crimes contra o patrimônio.
