Abstract

Crime negatively affects social welfare and reduces citizens’ trust in public institutions and society. Perhaps the best starting point is trying to look at criminal behavior as human and social phenomenon in order to understand what pushes people to illegal (and certainly risky) activities. The psychological literature has emphasized the role of attitudes as one of the main determinants of human behavior. We reviewed this literature and its applications to crime.
