Since Gary Becker's seminal article in the late sixties, the
economic analysis of crime has blossomed, from an interesting side
field within law and economics, into a mature stand-alone
sub-discipline that has been embraced by many well-respected
academic economists. Wide ranging and accessible, this is the most
up-to-date textbook in this area, taking current economic research
and making it accessible to undergraduates and other interested
readers. Without use of graphs or mathematical equations, Winter
combines theory and empirical evidence with controversial examples
from the news media.Topics discussed include: the death penalty,
racial profiling, rational drug addiction and drug legalization,
private crime deterrence, gun control, the privatization of
prisons, juvenile crime, and alternative social reforms to deter
crime. By requiring no previous knowledge of economics, not only is
this book a perfect choice for students new to the study of
economics and public policy, it will also be of interest and
accessible to students of criminology, law, political science, and
other disciplines interested in the study of crime topics. By
emphasizing the benefits and costs of social policy to deter crime,
The Economics of Crime can be enjoyed by anyone who follows current
public policy debate over one of society's most contentious issues.
