Economists who bring the tools of economic analysis to bear on the study

of crime and crime prevention contribute to current debates a normative framework

and sophisticated quantitative methods for evaluating policy, the idea of criminal

behavior as rational choice, and the connection of individual choices to aggregate

outcomes. The contributors to this volume draw on all three of these approaches in

their investigations and discuss the policy implications of their

findings.

 

Reporting on research in the United States, Europe, and

South America, the chapters discuss such topics as a cost-benefit analysis of

additional police hiring, the testing of innovative policy interventions through

field experiments, imprisonment and recidivism rates, incentives and disincentives

for sports hooliganism ("hooliganomics"), data showing the influence of

organized crime on the quality of local politicians, and the (scant) empirical

evidence for the effect of immigration on crime. These contributions demonstrate the

eclectic approach of economists studying crime as well as their increasing respect

for the contributions of other social scientists in this

area.
