SUÇUN EKONOMİK ANALİZİ: GENEL BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Abstract

Bu çalışma; suç ve suç bileşenlerinin, ekonomi biliminin temel araçlarıyla analizini amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşmada, suçun ekonomik modellerinden yararlanılmıştır. Mevcut literatür temelinde hazırlanan çalışmada suç arzına ve talebine, suçun ekonomik modellerine ve suçun maliyetlerine yer verilmiştir. Suçun ekonomik modelleri, ekonomik göstergelerin suç arzını belirlediğine işaret etmektedir. Ayrıca bu modellerde suç maliyetlerinin de ekonomiyi etkilediğine vurgu yapılmaktadır. Genel bir literatür değerlendirilmesi niteliğindeki çalışma beş kısımdan oluşmaktadır. Birinci kısımda girişe; ikinci kısımda suç arzı, talebi ve dengesi kavramlarına; üçüncü kısımda suçu ekonomik modellerine, dördüncü kısımda ise literatür bağlamında suçun bireysel ve toplumsal maliyetlerine yer verilmiştir. Son kısımda ise mevcut literatür ışığında genel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır
