What are the cost savings from preventing a typical burglary,
robbery, assault, or even a criminal career? Who benefits from
these savings? How often do the benefits from preventing crime or
criminal behavior exceed the resources spent on preventing or
controlling crime? Is it more cost-effective to invest in early
childhood programs or juvenile boot camps to reduce criminal
offending? These are some of the important questions that face
policymakers in crime and justice today. Answering them is no easy
task. Nevertheless, it is important to provide answers in order to
ensure that the dollars devoted to crime reduction are spent as
efficiently as possible. The principle aim of "Costs and Benefits
of Preventing Crime" is to report on and assess the present state
of knowledge on the monetary costs and benefits of crime prevention
programs. Remarkably, this crucial topic has rarely been studied up
to the present time. This book examines key methodological issues,
reports on the most up-to-date research findings, discusses
international policy perspectives, and presents an agenda for
future research and policy development on the economic analysis of
crime prevention. Throughout, it addresses the important question
of how governments should be allocating scarce resources to make
crime prevention policy and practice more effective and to produce
the greatest economic benefits to society. The book brings together
research and perspectives from across North America, Europe, and
Australia.
