Lee Jong-in: Law and economics of crime and punishment

The criminal law requires improvements in the relevant system by using various techniques of analysis in economics. The book is based on observing criminal law, one of the fields of traditional law. Today our society is full of criminal acts such as violence and injury, fraud and embezzlement, bribery and illicit trafficking. Criminal law reform discussions are also on the verge of rising tide of new crimes, such as juvenile and drug crimes, environmental and cybercrime. But in traditional criminal law theory, there are few areas in which you can't really show the obvious targets of crime in reality, and so on. Economics provides a variety of analytical techniques that fill the gap between these criminal laws and make effective access to various criminal and penal issues. The book is focused on the ‘Symphony’ but is written not only on the writer's research and lectures, but also on a thorough analysis of the relevant literature, so it will be useful in understanding the various crimes and penalties and improving the institution. So an economic approach to law and legal systems will provide information that is very beneficial not only to those who explore law and economics, but also to many who are concerned about the issue of legislation and public policy.
