Tiivistelmä:Purpose of this article is to explore the impact of accession to the European Union on Lithuania's violent crime rates. The study concentrates on three violent crime types: rapes, murders and robberies. The study relies on panel data from Lithuanian municipalities and the data is analyzed using fixed effect models.
