Abstract

Economics of crime aims at studying, theoretically and empirically, which are the determinants of criminal behavior and how it is affected by incentives and punishment. In 1968, Becker presents a paper that radically changes the way of thinking about criminal behavior. Since the beginning of 1980s, Becker’s paper opens the door to a new field of empirical research whose main purpose is to verify and study the economic variables that determine criminal choices and behaviors of agents.
