Economic Analysis and Efficiency in Policing, Criminal Justice and Crime Reduction: What Works?
Authors: Matthew Manning, Shane D. Johnson, Nick Tilley, Gabriel T. W. Wong, Margarita Vorsina
This monograph explains what economic analysis is, why it is important, and forms it can take in policing and criminal justice. Costs are important in all forms of economic analysis but their collection tends to be partial and inadequate in capturing key information. A practical guide to the collection is therefore also provided.
