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

Reporting on research in the United States, Europe, and South America,the chapters discuss such topics as a cost-benefit analysis of additional police hiring, the testingof innovative policy interventions through field experiments, imprisonment and recidivism rates,incentives and disincentives for sports hooliganism ("hooliganomics"), data showing theinfluence of organized crime on the quality of local politicians, and the (scant) empirical evidencefor the effect of immigration on crime. These contributions demonstrate the eclectic approach ofeconomists studying crime as well as their increasing respect for the contributions of other socialscientists in this area.
