Excellent- More about A Modern Guide to the Economics of Crime

Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
The Modern Guide to the Economics of Crime delves into the evolution of a field that has gained increasing relevance among scholars and policymakers due to the persistence of crime and violence worldwide, as well as the remarkable progress made in recent years in the economic analysis of individual and organized crime. This progress is attributed to the so-called "credibility revolution" and the cross-fertilization of economics with other social sciences such as criminology, sociology, and political science. The volume features contributions from esteemed scholars in the economics of crime, offering a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the field.
Emphasizing the significance of developing crime-reducing policies that are grounded in rigorous empirical analyses, the contributions leverage novel and administrative micro-data, employ research designs that reveal causal relationships, and embrace interdisciplinarity of approaches and theoretical frameworks. The Modern Guide is structured into four parts: the first part explores the role of the police and their effectiveness, the second part examines the distinct socio-economic factors that may drive individuals to commit crimes, the third part addresses issues related to crime in specific groups, such as migrants, women, and racial minorities, and the final part shifts from individual to organized crime.
This Modern Guide will be an engaging and informative read for economics and criminology students and scholars interested in exploring the relationship between these two fields. Policymakers will also benefit from the application of interdisciplinary theory to empirical research presented in the chapters.
