Based on experimental and theoretical studies in the field of crime economy, income inequality is one of the effective factors on crime. This paper investigates the relation between income inequality and other economic factors by panel data among the provinces all-over the country. According to crimes models, there is direct relation between income inequality and murder or vehicle theft with coefficients of 0.084, 1.332. Among the estimated models, there appears a positive and robust relation between poverty and violence with coefficient of 0.034. Moreover, the positive and meaningful effect of population density is approved by coefficient of 3.381 for theft, percentage of population aged (15 - 19) by coefficients .35, and 5.858 on murder and theft and the percentage of population aged (20-24) with coefficients of .239 and 1.736 on murder and violence. The gained results provide the policies that could help to fighting the crime in Iran.
