Synopsis
The authors, pioneers in economic research on the criminal justice system, apply their innovative economic paradigm and monetary measures to the seriousness of crime generation and crime control. The Economics of Crime Control will be essential for the library of every criminologist, economist, policy maker, university professor, and student concerned with the economics of crime and the newest approaches to understanding the criminal justice system.
′This book has pedagogical as well as reference value. It would be most appropriate as a supplementary text for a graduate course on criminal justice policy.′ -- Policy Sciences No 14, 1982
′This is an excellent book directed primarily to the nonspecialist...I particularly liked the methodical, careful approach the authors follow in using the tools of economic analysis to tackle complex social policy questions.′ -- Journal of Economic Literature, Vol 21, June 1983
′...a desirable and "must" reading for any student of criminology. It provides a solid base to make further refinements to the theory and the empirical analysis. It could be used as a text for a graduate course as well as a source book for researchers in criminology.′ -- Annals of Regional Science, November 1983
