成本效益和效益成本分析是公共政策分析人员多年来一直使用的工具。各种各样的计划，如环境和土地使用法规，福利待遇，职业培训计划和免疫政策，都是以这种方式分析的。自20世纪80年代初以来，联邦监管机构一直被要求对重大监管举措进行效益-成本分析。成本效益和效益成本分析尽管得到广泛使用，但并不是刑事司法政策分析人员工具包中的斯台普斯。由于公众对政府机构问责制的要求越来越高，而且有了确定犯罪成本的新数据和分析技术，这种情况正在迅速改变。本章回顾了国家的最先进的技术，估计成本和效益的刑事司法和预防计划。虽然政府对街头犯罪成本的官方估计已经存在多年，但最近的研究试图超越政府的统计数据，将疼痛，痛苦和生活质量损失的货币价值纳入其中。这些研究中有许多使用了环境、健康和安全经济学家所采用的方法。由于这些方法对刑事司法研究界来说是新的，因此相当重视了解其基本假设，限制和替代方案。成本效益分析已经进入刑事司法政策竞技场，而且不会消失。迫使分析人员量化犯罪和司法的衡量和分析
Cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost analyses are tools that have been used by public policy analysts for years. Programs as diverse as environmental and land use regulations, welfare benefits, job training programs, and immunization policies have all been analyzed in this manner. Since the early 1980s, Federal regulatory agencies have been required to conduct benefit-cost analyses on major regulatory initiatives. Despite their widespread use, cost-effectiveness and benefitcost analyses have not been staples of the criminal justice policy analyst’s tool kit. This is rapidly changing in response to both increasing public demand for accountability of government agencies and the availability of new data and analysis techniques for identifying the costs of crime. This chapter reviews state-of-the-art techniques for estimating the costs and benefits of criminal justice and prevention programs. Although official government estimates of the cost of street crime have been available for many years, recent studies have attempted to go beyond government statistics by incorporating the monetary value of pain, suffering, and lost quality of life. Many of these studies use methodologies that are employed by environmental, health, and safety economists. Because these methodologies are new to the criminal justice research community, considerable attention is given to understanding their underlying assumptions, limitations, and alternatives. Cost-benefit analysis has arrived in the criminal justice policy arena, and it will not go away. Forcing analysts to quantify MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF CRIME AND JUSTICE
