Analyzing crime through the lens of economics, political science, and game theory reveals that criminals act as rational decision-makers weighing personal gains against costs. This approach offers new insights into complex issues like gang wars, drug sales, prostitution, and gun control. By understanding the strategic variables influencing criminal behavior, the book aims to inform more effective public policy, moving beyond emotional responses that often lead to counterproductive measures.
