Economics 382: The Economics of Crime
Mr. Easton
Fall 2015
Course Outline and Reading List
Prerequisites: Economics 201.
This course will cover a limited number of topics in the economics of crime. It will
describe some of the economic theories of crime and punishment and focus on those that
have empirical content.
Text: Stephen Easton, Hilary Furness and Paul Brantingham “The Cost of Crime: 2014”
(Fraser Institute: 2014). The text will be available as a download.
Grading: There will be one mid-term exam (30%), and one final (40%). Written work:
Students will submit up to three reviews of articles in Juristat; and there will be an
opportunity to extend your analysis. There may be occasional assignments, homework
and reviews (20%), and tutorial participation will be worth up to 10%.
Office Hours: Tuesday TBA and by appointment
This outline is suggestive. If we need more or less time on a topic, we will take it.
Week 1: Introduction
Week 2: The Basic Data of Crime
Week 3*: Economic Theories …
Week 4: and Evidence …
Week 5: about Crime …
Week 6*: The Death Penalty
Week 7: Mid term examination

Week 9*: The Underground Economy: the Prohibition of Alcohol
Week 10: and the Prohibition of Drugs
Week 11: Gun Control†
Week 12: ** Organized Crime
Week 13: Networks
* A Review summary from Juristat is to be turned in at the start of your tutorial. Tutorial
discussion will include presentations of your summaries.
** See below “Reading a Book”
† If we have time.
1
Tutorials: tutorials will serve both to discuss lecture material and present your own work.
In particular you will each have an opportunity to review material from Juristat published
by Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (and available in the electronic journals section
of the library), write a summary, briefly discuss the content, and prepare a short report to
participants in your tutorial section.
Web Materials: Some materials will be posted on my web site: http://www.sfu.ca/~easton
Juristat Reviews:
A partial listing of all Juristat issues follows the reading list. It is for your convenience
but is not complete. A full listing is at http://tinyurl.com/n9o53oz
Hand in two copies of your review. One will be returned with comments.
*First article: You will choose or be assigned one issue from Juristat for which you must
write a summary of three to five pages (unless you have more to say.) Explain what was
(1) the most surprising, (2) the most important, and (3) the most interesting issue
suggested by the article. If you do not understand something in the article, explain what
it is you do not understand.
*Second article: Do the same analysis as for the first article. In addition, for your second
article, notice that data are presented. If you were to suggest what additional data should
be collected to bear on the issues discussed in the article, what should these data be? In
the context of economic theory, explain.
*Third article: Do the same analysis as for the first and second articles. Articles like these
are important because they peak your curiosity and generate additional ideas about crime
related issues. Discuss one additional (and significant) issue for investigation that was
suggested to you in reading the article. Explain the context and why it is important.
**Reading a Book
Week 12-13: Plan to Read and Write a Review of a book on organized crime. You may
start looking for the right book in week 1 if you like. The essence is to try to characterize
and to gauge the economic impact of the criminal organization of your choice. This will
count as the take home part of the final exam. I encourage you to find a book on an
organized crime topic in which you are interested that is not on the list. If you do not
choose a book on the list, clear it with me before you start reading and writing. You must
clear it with me in advance. The preapproved list is appended to the reading list and
outline.

Weeks 3- 6: Economic Theories of Crime and their Implications
Much of the initial lecture material in this section is drawn from: Robert Cooter and
Thomas Ulen, Law and Economics, 3rd edition (Addison Wesley Longman: 2000):
427-454. Any edition will do to get the general ideas. The third edition is available for
download at: http://works.bepress.com/robert_cooter/56/
Becker, Gary S. “Crime and Punishment: An Economic Approach” Journal of
Political Economy Volume 76, Issue 2 (March-April, 1968): 169-217.
Becker’s is the classic article in this field. You should “look” at it and get a sense of how
Becker likes to think about and talk about issues. Do not expect to follow the
mathematics at this point. Our discussion will gradually build up to some of the issues
Becker raises. We will, however, start slowly.

Book Report
Plan to read one of these books or choose a book about some organized crime group of
your choice, but if you choose a book not on the list, clear it with me before you read it.
This report should summarize the book, and stress the economic consequences of the
organization discussed. The report should be no more than 10 pages double-spaced.
These are trade books for the most part. You can pick many of them up at any bookstore
or go to a library. The call numbers are from the SFU Library. This will count as part of
the final exam. Should you wish to discuss another book, you can clear it with me.
