A Modern Guide to the Economics of Crime discusses the evolution of
a field, whose growing relevance among scholars and policymakers is
partly related to the persistence of crime and violence around the
world and partly to the remarkable progress made in recent years in
the economic analysis of individual and organised crime. Such
progress is related to the so-called "credibility revolution" as
well as to the cross-fertilization of economics and other social
sciences such as criminology, sociology and political science. With
contributions from some of the leading scholars in the economics of
crime, the volume highlights a variety of topics, conceptual
frameworks and empirical approaches, thus providing a comprehensive
overview of the most recent developments of the field. Emphasising
the importance of designing crime-reducing policies that are guided
by rigorous empirical analyses, the contributions leverage the
availability of novel and administrative micro-data, the use of
research designs that unveil causal relationships, and the
interdisciplinarity of approaches and theoretical frameworks. The
Modern Guide moves through four parts: first investigating the role
of the police and their effectiveness, then moving on to look at
the distinct socio-economic factors that may induce individuals to
commit crimes, followed by issues related to crime in specific
groups including migrants, women and racial minorities, and finally
turning from individual to organized crime. This Modern Guide will
be an invigorating read for economics and criminology students and
scholars looking at the relationship between the two fields. Policy
makers will also benefit from the application of interdisciplinary
theory to empirical research in the chapters.
