Economic crimes refer to illegal acts committed by an individual or a group of indiviluals to obtain a financial or professional advantage. In such crimes, the offender's principal motÃve is economic gain. Cyber crimes, tax evasion, robbery, selling of controlled substances, and abuses of economic aid are all examples of economic crimes. Economic crime is generated from a hidden power that defines the relationships between economics and politics. Financial liberalization and market reforms undertaken in Argentina in recent decades, left as a result a gradual process of institutional state capture by major economic groups. This capture is now expressed in a powerful influence of these economic actors in the decision making processes,the imuplementation of public policies and distribution of economic and social resources Economics of crime deals with the effect of incentives on criminal behaviour and the possiole measures to reduce crime. Economic models not only predict and explain the behavlour of criminals, but can also be used to describe the causes of crime and the dynamic interaction between criminals and anti-crime measures The book analyses how economic and political interests create socio religious, culitural and regional schisms resulting in the ghettoisation of religious minorities and politically sponsored violence.
