This study aims to describe the demographics of the community, including gender, education, occupation, and unemployment rates, as well as the crime rate in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province in 2019–2021. This research method uses a descriptive approach. The research data is cross-sectional data and uses secondary data types sourced from the Banyuasin Police and the Central Statistics Agency.
