The data analysis methods used include multiple linear regression and Klassen typology analysis to understand patterns and economic structures across different regions. The findings reveal that income inequality, OUR, education, and GDP significantly influence crime rates.

The analysis of OUR and crime rates shows that regions with high OUR and crime rates are South Lampung, North Lampung, and Bandar Lampung City. The analysis of GDP and crime rates indicates that regions with high GDP and crime rates include South Lampung, East Lampung, Central Lampung, and Bandar Lampung City.
