Lessons from the Economics of Crime

What Reduces Offending?
Edited by Philip J. Cook, Stephen Machin , Olivier Marie and Giovanni Mastrobuoni

Economists who bring the tools of economic analysis to bear on the study of crime and crime prevention contribute to current debates a normative framework and sophisticated quantitative methods for evaluating policy, the idea of criminal behavior as rational choice, and the connection of individual choices to aggregate outcomes. The contributors to this volume draw on all three of these approaches in their investigations and discuss the policy implications of their findings.
