Property crime in Canada : an econometric study /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This is the first attempt, using Canadian data and econometric techniques, to study property crime as rational economic behaviour. Supply-of-offences functions for five types of property crime are specified and estimated using provincial data for 1970-2.
