In a recent issue of this Journal, Yearwood and Koinis (2011) endeavor to identify predictive variables of property crime in addition to the unemployment rate. The focus is on reported property crimes rates in the form of property crime in the aggregate, larceny-theft, burglary, robbery, fraud, motor vehicle theft, and embezzlement in North Carolina. The study deals with annual time series data for the period 1977–2007. Unfortunately, the study suffers from potentially serious misspecification problems and from a number of potentially serious empirical/statistical problems. This Comment describes these problems, problems that compromise the validity and usefulness of the Yearwood and Koinis (2009) results, and in so doing to some degree helps to demonstrate how those problems can be ameliorated.
