economic theories of crime

Economic theories of crime consider criminal activity as a decision made by rational individuals, based on the perceived costs and benefits of the criminal act. There are individuals who commit crimes under any circumstance without regard to the consequences of their actions, and there are individuals who would not commit crimes under any circumstance.
