Abstract

The economics of crime has become a substantial body of analysis in the past 20 years. Evidence for this is provided by the number of books and articles in quality journals and the increasing attention criminologists and policy makers are paying to the work of economists. This article provides a sample of the problems addressed and the theoretical and empirical contributions. Particular attention is paid to the work of Australian economists.
