Abstract
The present study explores the socio-economic determinants of robbery through conducting survey of prisoners arrested against robbery in 30 prisons of the Punjab, Pakistan. A sample of 198 prisoners was selected through stratified random sampling technique. Binary logistic regression is applied to find out the results. The main findings reveal that unemployment, age, residential background, and residential status have significant association with robbery. However, no significant association is found between marital status and robbery.
