CALL FOR PROPOSALS...

>From Harwood Academic Publishers...

A New International Book Series...

STUDIES IN CRIME AND ECONOMICS

Edited by
Peter Reuter, School of Public Affairs, University of Maryland, USA
Ernesto U. Savona, TRANSCRIME, School of Law, University of Trento, Italy

Studies in Crime and Economics aims at the multiple intersections of crime
and economics. Methodologically, it will publish books that apply the models
and statistical techniques of modern economics to problems of crime and
criminal justice. Substantively, it will publish books that (i) analyze
specific classes of crime that are usually labeled economic and (ii) how
economic phenomena affect crime.

Economic or White Collar Crime

The continuing technological transformation of Western economies and the
large role of government allows for increasingly varied kinds of economic
crime. Areas covered in the series will include: corruption, fraud and money
laundering, as well as more complex forms of corporate crime. Particular
attention will be given to the crimes that take advantage of the growth of
cyberspace.

Organized Economic Crime

A number of studies have shown how organized crime has adapted to changing
economic structure. There has been a greater rationalization in organized
crime and a shift away from family- and ethnic-based structures to systems
of criminal organization that are more skill-based. The series will examine
the more recent changes that have occurred in this area, in particular the
areas where criminal activities and crimes merge with legitimate enterprises
and professionals.

Illegal Markets

A large source of criminal income is in the distribution or importation of
goods that are either prohibited or heavily regulated: drugs, cigarettes,
endangered animal species. Traffic in humans, either for immigration evasion
or for prostitution, is another important illegal market. The series will
include studies of these activities that identify both the ways in which
such markets are like conventional markets and ways in which they differ.

Economic Analysis of Crime and Criminal Justice

Economics, since Gary Becker's classic 1968 article "The Economics of Crime
and Justice", has offered a strong analytic frame for understanding
individual criminal choices and how resources should be allocated within the
criminal justice system. The improvement of crime measurement has now
allowed for increasing application of this framework in both areas. The
series will encourage studies that take an economic approach to the dynamics
of crime at the population level and to the effects of specific crime
control policies.

Economic Conditions and Crime

Theory suggests a very strong relationship between economic conditions
(poverty rates, unemployment, wealth) and crime, both at the individual and
population levels. The empirical literature suggests a much more ambiguous
and complex relationship; crime can also have major effects on the poverty
and wealth of a community. The growth of immigration in the developed world
has also increased interest in the possible connection between the level and
composition of immigration on the one hand and crime rates on the other,
possibly mediated by economic conditions. Studies in Crime and Economics
will include studies at the local, national and international level.


The editors of Studies in Crime and Economics invite proposals for
monographs, textbooks and cohesive edited collections. Proposers are
encouraged to introduce their idea to the editors of the series before
assembling a full publishing proposal. Publishing proposals should include a
full chapter outline of the book and some draft material, abstracts and
sample articles in the case of edited collections (with full details of
titles and affiliations of contributors), and an introduction and argument
for the project. Proposals must be accompanied by the full c.v./s of the
author/s or collection editor/s.
