The problem is: are there any unobserved variables (factors) in the field of crime in the State, what is the underlying structure of the crime in South Darfur State, and to what extent are the variables associated with crime can be reduced. The aims of the study are to study the underlying structure of the crime in South Darfur State and to know to what extent that the data of the crime could be reduced. The population of the study is the people who are involved in different criminal activities. The sample size is 667 persons. The data was collected using quota sampling. 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.
