Justice and legal affairs
London Economics are experts in the economics of the criminal justice system, covering the legal system, penal policy and criminal justice strategy, and from policing through to the courts, prisons and probation, including rehabilitation programmes.
Our significant experience in the justice sector has grown in recent years in line with a shift among policymakers towards an evidence-based approach to policy formation. Our clients include EC DG Justice, Freedom and Security, the UK Ministry of Justice, other European justice ministries, the UK National Offender Management Service, police forces and other agencies within the criminal justice system.
Examples of recent research undertaken include a comprehensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature on the economics of crime, evaluations of prison-based interventions, support for confidential impact assessments of legal reforms, analysis of the UK Home Office police funding distribution formula and efficiency analysis.
Our Justice and Legal Affairs team is staffed with highly-qualified economists that are committed to understanding your issue so as to deliver methodologically robust and independent analysis, with a focus on data security and confidentiality.
