An analytic procedure was used to analyze the data using SPSS by factor analysis. The correlation matrix was analyzed to perform factor analysis; principal component was selected for extraction and varimax for rotation. After the literature was reviewed and the data was analyzed, the researcher discusses the results of analysis and comes to acceptable results as follows: Seven factors were extracted to explain 64.23% of the total variance of the crime in the State.
