Becker’s contribution of economic theory to crime has produced a greater understanding of criminal behaviour. One such hypothesis was put forward by Donahue and Levitt (2001) that legalised abortions contributed to a decline in crime and another by Mark Duggan (2001) that more gun ownership impacts on crime. These examples will help you discuss the relationship between economic theory and criminology.Throughout this discussion you can explore the various players and locations in relation to economic theory and introduce any other examples that could help explain the contribution of economic thought to organised crime and illegal markets.Please include in your discussion the notion that correlation does not imply causation.
