Crime and Violence

Rowena Gray

Chapter 19 in An Economist’s Guide to Economic History, 2018, pp 159-165 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Crime is a relatively recent concept, a construction of an era that focuses more on the legality of a person’s actions than their morality. This chapter illustrates how economic history can help gain a new perspective on crime, and how crime and violence can be studied by looking at historical policy experiments and their consequences.
