Abstract
This volume includes 10 original papers on various aspects of the economics of crime, together with an introductory essay by the editors that characterizes the intellectual agenda and approach of the economists in this field. The papers cover a number of substantive topics, including both reviews and original research. There are review articles on the consequences of drug prohibition (John Donohue), on “mechanism experiments” for crime policy (Jens Ludwig, Jeff Kling, and Sendhil Mullainathan), on the relationship between crime and immigration (Brian Bell and Stephen Machin), on what works in reducing recidivism (Aurėlie Ouss), and on policy experiments for reducing football hooliganism (Mikael Priks). The original empirical research reported in the other papers include (1) the effect of police hiring on arrest volume (Emily Owens); (2) the effect of crime on police hiring in the U.S. and Italy (Paolo Buonanno and Giovanni Mastrobuoni); (3)the consequences of a change in the structure of policing in a Brazilian state (Rodrigo Soares and Igor Viveiros); (4) the surprising effect of processing older adolescents in adult courts in Germany (Stefan Pichler and Daniel Rőmer); AND (5) the effect of organized crime on the quality of political candidates in Italy (Paolo Pinotti). This book is part of the CESifo Seminar Series. The papers were presented and discussed at a CESifo conference in Venice.
