Policy Journals, 1986 93pp tables RP61036A

Collection of articles on crime, which look at crime as a growth
industry; the amount of resources absorbed by crime; the numbers
of police officers per head of population, getting better use of
police resources; whether magistrates' courts give value for
money; whether intermediate treatment has proved cost effective;
compensation for victims; insurance against theft; victims'
rights; consumer protection and the garage trade; fraud
detection; and the Government's crime prevention policy. The main
areas of concern within the articles cover whether or not the
nation is devoting the right level of resources to dealing with
crime, whether the interests of different groups are being taken
properly into account, irrespective of the area they live in, and
is the policy decision necessarily taken by government or other
parts of the public sector serving the objectives they are
designed to promote.
