| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the authors consider the reasons why the general level of recorded crime has been falling in the United States and many European countries in the last ten years. The authors review the time-series statistical evidence on the determinants of crime, and investigate the extent to which these determinants are matched with survey evidence on the offending behaviour of young people. This survey evidence is particularly revealing on the perceptions of young people to various sorts of deterrents, and it also highlights a strong association between illicit drug use and involvement in crime. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
