This report describes the \u201cbottom-line\u201d economics of programs that try to reduce crime. For a wide range of approaches\u2014from prevention programs designed for young children to correctional interventions for juvenile and adult offenders\u2014we systematically analyze evaluations produced in North America over the last 25 years. We then independently determine whether program benefits, as measured by the value to taxpayers and crime victims from a program\u2019s expected effect on crime, are likely to outweigh costs. This procedure allows direct \u201capples-to-apples\u201d comparisons of the economics of different types of programs designed for widely varying age groups. Our overall conclusion is one of good news: In the last two decades, research on what works and what doesn\u2019t has developed and, after considering the comparative economics of these options, this information can now be used to improve public resource allocation. These estimates can assist decision-makers in directing scarce public resources toward economically successful programs and away from unsuccessful programs, thereby producing net overall gains to taxpayers, even in the absence of new funding sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Comparative Costs and Benefits to Reduce Crime \u2013 This review of the ten existing evaluations of juvenile boot camps indicated that, relative to comparison groups, juvenile offenders in these programs had higher, not lower, subsequent recidivism rates.
