By assuming that all crimes are committed in the central business district and that criminals create both positive and negative externalities to each other, we ...nd that high wages or large levels of police resources are a natural way to reduce crime. We also ...nd that bigger cities experience higher levels of crime because of the ...ercer competition in the housing market. Finally, we show that reducing commuting costs can also reduce crime because the resulting decrease in housing prices is lower for workers than for criminals.
