RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON THE ECONOMICS OF CRIMINAL LAW
Book ID/图书代码： 13B60072
English Summary/英文概要： Jeremy Bentham and Gary Becker established the tradition of analyzing criminal law in utilitarian and economic terms. This seminal book continues that tradition with specially commissioned, original papers that span the philosophical foundations of the use of economics in criminal law, both traditional economic perspectives and behavioral and experimental approaches to the discipline.
The contributors examine and evaluate the optimal design of criminal law norms as well as the ideal structure of law enforcement institutions. They delineate what wrongs ought to be criminalized, identify the boundaries between criminal law and tort, and determine the optimal size of sanctions given the differential vulnerability of victims. They also analyze the special considerations that apply to the regulation of corporate crime, the effects of technology on crime, and the effects of the distribution of wealth on sentencing.
This essential Handbook provides students and scholars of criminal law and law and economics the opportunity to explore the diversity of contemporary approaches to the economics of crime. Criminologists, sociologists and policy makers will also find it a valuable addition to their collections.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《刑法经济学研究大全》为刑法、法律和经济学专业的学生和学者提供了多种研究犯罪经济学的现代化手段。同样，这本书对于刑事学家，社会学家和决策者来说是弥足珍贵的。
Jeremy Bentham（英国的法理学家、功利主义哲学家、经济学家和社会改革者）和Gary Becker(美国经济学家)开创了分析功利主义和经济学意义上刑法的传统。这本极具创意的书继续沿袭了这个传统, 作者们结合了传统经济学、行为学以及试验主义的观点、分析了刑法经济学，它所囊括的领域在于刑法经济学使用中的哲学基础。
作者们分析、评估了刑法标准的优化设计以及执法部门最理想的组织分布。他们描述了什么样的错误应该被定罪，怎样去识别刑法与侵权行为的界线，以及根据受害者受伤害的程度来量定罪行。他们也分析了法人犯罪定刑中的特殊条款、判刑中科技手段、财产分配的作用等等。(Susie)
Awards/获奖情况：‘. . . the book is a largely successful and thought-provoking attempt to analyse criminal law in utilitarian and economic terms. Fundamentally the book offers up a number of economic analyses of criminal law – and therefore encompasses the social sciences, including economics, behavioural economics, psychology and, to some extent, sociology. Those interested in criminology too, should also read this book. . . this book is an interesting and instructive read, certainly for criminal lawyers, as well as criminologists, sociologists and those making difficult policy decisions with respect to crime prevention and punishment.’
