This research aims to investigate the relationship between homicides and other crimes reported to police across Peru from 2016 to 2021.
Utilized three multivariate techniques: correlation analysis, hierarchical clustering, and principal component analysis.
Analyzed data from 2016 to 2021 concerning 30 police-reported crime subtypes.
Examined spatial and temporal variations in crime across provinces.
Hierarchical clustering revealed three distinct groups of criminal offense patterns in Peru.
A strong positive correlation was found between the absolute number of homicides and economically motivated offenses.
Spatial analysis indicated that provinces with higher homicide rates are predominantly coastal and metropolitan.
