In essence, this report is similar to an investment advisor’s “buy-sell” list. It contains current information on policy options that can give taxpayers a good return on their crime fighting dollars (the “buys”) as well as those well-researched strategies that apparently cannot reduce crime cost-effectively (the “sells”). The benefit-cost information can be used by policymakers to help write budgets identifying a portfolio of evidence-based options able to reduce crime and save money. Summary
