Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Presenting unique perspectives on the analysis of illicit activity from an economics perspective, this book provides powerful new analysis of the crime-economy nexus, including econometric models of criminal participation, income tax evasion, the under-reporting of crime, the socio-economic differences between victims of crime and how these differences affect reporting practices. The book also examines the social and economic determinants of illicit drug use and how this consumption generates social costs. The mix of theoretical modelling, experimental evidence and policy implications makes this book a fundamental new title in the area of economics and criminology. (Editor' s abstract)
