Título en español: Reseña del libro The economics of crime: Lessons for and from Latin America, por Rafael Di Tella, Sebastian Edwards y Ernesto Schargrodsky.
The Economics of Crime: Lessons for and from Latin America makes an important contribution to the study of crime and violence in Latin America and to the debate about what works for reducing crime (and at what cost?). As the title of the book correctly suggests, the book brings together contributions from Latin American economists on the determinants and consequences of crime, as well as contributions and lessons about similar and related issues from other regions of the world. Importantly, many of the chapters in this book make use of available data together with solid empirical strategies in order to understand the causes and consequences of crime.
