As marketisation and privatisation reshape the criminal justice system, this illuminating overview sets out their causes, scale and impacts. With case studies and economic, sociological and criminological perspectives, leading academics consider the evolving roles of public, private and voluntary sectors and possible future reforms.

The economics of crime is an area of activity and concern, influential both to the study of crime and criminal justice and to the formulation of crime reduction and criminal justice policy. This book introduces the relationship between economics and crime, and considers the ways in which economics has influenced criminological theory.
