Summary/Abstract: Criminal activity is a serious but unfortunately inevitable phenomenon in society, whichneeds to be regulated or minimised. This paper analyses crime from 2008 to 2022, withthe main objective of determining the relationship between solved crimes and the totalnumber of crimes, as well as the relation between the severity of criminal offenses andunemployment and average wages. Furthermore, it aims to predict crime rates for the nextsix years. Additionally, based on multiple linear regression, crime in the Czech Republic iscompared with its neighbouring countries. It has been found that there is a positive linearrelationship between the number of crimes and the number of solved crimes. Similarly,there is a statistically significant negative relationship between the number of crimes andaverage wages.
