Crime has been explained from different approaches and disciplines. From an economic approach, this investigation traces the determination of the degree of incidence of sociodemographic, economic, institutional, and geographic factors, in the criminal offer of Colombia and its departments during the period 2010 to 2017; for this, the quantitative method of simultaneous equations is used, also, under the modification of Maximum Likelihood with Complete Information, the following main findings are obtained: 1) crime presents relationships related to sociodemographic, economic, institutional and geographic variables. 2) The number of police officers of an administrative department positively dependent on the number of crimes reported and the size of the territory. Finally, it can be concluded that state intervention aimed at crime mitigation must consider interdisciplinary relationships that interact around the phenomenon so that public policies are efficient.

Keywords : Simultaneous equations; territory; crime; state security.
