If Table 4 is used to calculate correlation coefficient for income and crime rates, above mentioned inconsistencies can be eliminated. The correlation results have been shown in Table 5. Table 5 - Correlation between Income distribution and the number of people imprisoned Number imprisoned of people Share of workers from total income FONDAZIONE CENSIS Number of people imprisoned Share of workers from total income 1 -0.780** -0.780** 1 With use of this information above, we can also use regression method to estimate if the coefficient is reliable. The results obtained can be reported as follow: PI = 69014 – 575.75 * PVA (1) Where PI stands for persons imprisoned, and PVA stands for share of workers from income 339

11873_2002 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour T Statistics: (13.72) (-2.92) P value: (000) (0.04) R 2 : 0.68, F: 8.57, P value: (000) In words, above statistical terms indicate that if the share of workers from income increases by 1%, persons imprisoned decreases by 57%. This rate looks a little high, but it could be the case in economic terms. A positive correlation between the number of unemployed and the number of people imprisoned also strengthen empirical results above. A regression analysis between these two variables are shown below: PI = 4450 + 30.88 * U, where U stands for unemployed people (-2) (2) T Statistics: (2.52) (-2,18) P Value: (0,03) (0.06) R 2 : 0.40, F: 4,78, P value: (0.06) In equation (2), a high level of autocorrelation between these two variables has been detected. Thus, we took the first differences. Also, we used Schwarz information criterion to know the lag value of unemployment. Our test showed that the effect of unemployment on people imprisoned is can be seen with lag of two periods. Equation (2) also can be interpreted as equation (1). FONDAZIONE CENSIS 340
