The underlying causes of crime are examined to understand the unique economic contexts that contribute to high rates of crime and violence. By exploring the direct and indirect economic consequences of crime on businesses, communities, and gender dynamics, the volume shows how insecurity hampers development. It presents a tailored approach to policy that begins with the right diagnosis, takes local contexts into account, and draws on international evidence to help policymakers combat crime and foster economic development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThis book sets out a framework to transform cycles of violence and unrealized economic potential into virtuous cycles of growth and security.
