Olof Dahlb ck's book breaks new ground for the analysis of crime
from a rationality perspective by presenting models and methods
that go far beyond those with which researchers have hitherto been
equipped. The book examines single crimes, individual criminality,
and societal crime, and it discusses thoroughly the general
decision theoretical presuppositions necessary for analyzing these
various types of crime. An expected utility maximization model for
a single discrete choice regarding the commission of a crime is the
foundation of most of the analyses presented. A version of this
model is developed that permits interpersonal comparisons, and this
basic model is used when deriving more complex models of crime as
well as when analyzing the potential for such derivations. The
rigorous, powerful methods suggested provide considerable
opportunities for improving research and for seeing old problems in
a new light.
