Analyzing crime: An economist's view

Article Abstract:

Economists bring a unique perspective to the topic of criminology, a utilitarian vie in which one assumes that behavior can be changed by altering incentives, that the costs of crime can be measured in terms of money and the public policy is best evaluated by comparing costs and benefits. An economist suggests a host of measures that would sharply reduce the $400 billion annual toll from street crime in the United States.
