The Socio-economics of Crime and Justice is written by Brian Forst and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1315486288 (ISBN 10) and 9781315486284 (ISBN 13).

This book on crime and justice is motivated primarily by the idea that individual behaviour is influenced both by self-interest and by conscience, or by a sense of community responsibility. Forst has assembled a collection of authors who are writing in four parts: (1) the philosophical foundations and the moral dimension of crime and punishment; (2) the sense of community and the way it influences the problem of crime; (3) on offenders and offences; and (4) on the response of the criminal justice system.
