| Abstract: | V lednu roku 2015 vstoupila v Jablonci nad Nisou v platnost nulová tolerance hazardu, která zakazovala provoz kasin a heren. Všeobecně se předpokládá, že hazardní hraní zvyšuje kriminalitu, ale v České republice zatím nebyl tento efekt kvantifikován. Práce na základě regresní analýzy měsíčních dat z období let 2013-2016 zkoumá, pomocí metody difference in differences, hypotézu o existenci negativního vztahu mezi regulací hazardního hraní a kriminalitou. Jako kontrolní skupina bylo použito město Semily. Tato hypotéza je na základě sestaveného modelu potvrzena - regulace hazardního hraní v Jablonci nad Nisou je spojena s průměrným měsíčním poklesem celkové míry kriminality o 0,3622 trestných činů na 1000 obyvatel (16% pokles) a u majetkové kriminality došlo k průměrnému měsíčnímu poklesu o 0,3871 trestných činů na 1000 obyvatel (30% pokles). |

| Abstract: | In January 2015, a zero gambling tolerance came into force in Jablonec nad Nisou, which prohibited casinos and playrooms. It is generally assumed that gambling increases criminality, but the effect in the Czech Republic has not been quantified yet. Based on the regression analysis of monthly data from 2013-2016 this work examines the hypothesis of the existence of a negative relationship between gambling regulation and crime by using the difference in differences method. The town of Semily was used as a control group. This hypothesis is confirmed based on the used model - the regulation of gambling in Jablonec nad Nisou is associated with the average monthly decrease of the total crime rate by 0.3622 crimes per 1000 inhabitants (16% decrease) and the average monthly decrease of the property crime rate by 0,3871 crimes per 1000 inhabitants (30% decrease). |
