在农村劳动力进入城市后,我们观察到农民工的犯罪率很低。但近年来,农民工的恶性犯罪事件增多,谴责城市里的流动人口造成社会治安混乱的观点开始流行。通过研究发现,拖欠农民工工资是农民工犯罪率上升的一个重要原因。本文对拖欠农民工工资问题做了详细的考察,分析了政府在处理业主和农民工欠资矛盾中的行为,从一个侧面提出了缓解农民工犯罪的政策建议。 After the rural labor force entered the city, we observed that the crime rate of migrant workers was low. However, in recent years, the vicious crimes committed by migrant workers have increased, and the idea of ​​condemning the chaos in public order caused by the floating population in cities has started to prevail. Through the study found that arrears of migrant workers wages is an important reason for rising crime rates of migrant workers. This paper makes a detailed investigation on the problem of arrears of migrant workers’ salaries, analyzes the government’s handling of contradictions between owners and migrant workers, and puts forward policy suggestions on how to mitigate the crime of migrant workers from one aspect.
