Acknowledgments
This book is a revised version of a Ph.D. dissertation I defended in March 2008 at the Centre for the Comparative Analysis of Law and Economics, Economics of Law, Economics of Institutions of the University of Turin, Italy. I thank all faculty of the Centre for their excellent teaching, and very useful comments they provided. Many people have contributed to the development of this book. The first was Prof. Mark Cohen, University of Vanderbilt, whose lecture at a conference in Warsaw, Poland in 2002 opened my eyes to the emerging field of costs of crime estimates. His comments and warm words have helped me a lot in my work. Prof. Andrzej Siemaszko, Director of the Institute of Justice in Warsaw, has provided me with a lot of valuable criminological insights, and has delivered many valuable comments on earlier drafts. Prof. Stephen Garvey, Cornell Law School, has supervised the development of my dissertation and continuously been making attempts to improve the logic, clarity, and comprehensiveness of the thesis. It is needless to say that all remaining imperfections are, of course, mine alone. I also thank all faculties at Cornell Law School for making my research period in Ithaca, NY so fruitful. I additionally appreciate the generous support of Compagnia di San Paolo, without which my research would have not been possible.
