Trade Review
"Allen has provided a resource that will be useful both to economists interested in the study of crime and to the best of the new breed of criminologists who are interested in the tools developed in other social sciences. His analytical skills are complemented by a careful and intuitive explanation of the theoretical results and a clear discussion of the empirical consequences of the underlying theory." -- Stephen T. Easton, Professor of Economics * Simon Fraser University *
"Allen demonstrates how economic theory can provide valuable insight into relatively understudied aspects of criminal and victim decision making, offering clear examples of how that theory can be empirically tested. In each chapter, Allen lays the foundation of a new research agenda for social scientists interested in crime." -- Emily Owens, Cornell University * Department of Policy Analysis and Management *
