How do different types of crime (violent vs. non-violent, property vs. cybercrime) impose economic burdens on society?

Background

Delivering the Scottish Government’s Vision for Justice requires a whole system approach as recognised in its four underpinning core principles: ‘Founded in equality and human rights’,’ Evidence-based’, ‘Embed person-centred and trauma-informed practices’ and, ‘Collaboration and Partnership’. As such, Justice Analytical Services have identified the theme of ‘Whole Justice System Analysis’ as a research priority. This theme includes holistic research into justice equalities, justice economics and justice as a system – robust research on all of these topics will inform work towards the Vision for Justice aims.
