While few economists analyzed criminal behaviour and the criminal
justice process before Gary Becker's seminal 1968 paper, an
enormous body of economic research on crime has since been
produced. This insightful and comprehensive Handbook reviews and
extends much of this important resulting research. The Handbook on
the Economics of Crime provides cutting-edge and specially
commissioned contributions dealing with theoretical and empirical
modeling of criminal choice and behavior, including Isaac Ehrlich's
exposition of what he labels the `market, or equilibrium, model of
crime'. The public production and allocation of various criminal
justice services is also examined, as are significant components of
the costs and consequences of crime. Finally, current debates and
controversies in the economics of crime literature are considered,
with the expert contributors offering suggestions and guidance for
future research. With a broad set of crime-related topics examined
from an economic perspective, this extensive Handbook will be
welcomed by academic researchers and graduate students of the
economics of crime and criminology as well as legal scholars
focusing on criminal law.
