First published in 1999. This book provides a law and economics
approach towards criminal gangs which integrates the tools of
economic modelling with criminal law in order to understand and
address a contemporary law enforcement problem. The book draws upon
ideas from economics, law and law enforcement to investigate the
nature and organizational structure of criminal gangs. Law and
economics are employed in varying combinations and at varying
levels of specificity to generate insights into the organization
and behaviour of criminal gangs. These insights are applied to
evaluate alternative legal approaches and to inform the design of a
new criminal law approach towards criminal gangs. Attention is
focused on the organization of criminal street gangs, both because
the growth and increasing sophistication of these gangs offer
special challenges for law enforcement and because of the potential
contributions which such an understanding could yield for
economists who have traditionally focused on the organizational
structure of legitimate enterprises.
