Abstract

The article explores the possibility of rational choice theory

in criminal law and criminology on the example of the Coase

theorem. It is alleged that the criminal law gives rise to considerable

social costs that can be reduced, in particular through better

application of the rules governing criminal reconciliation with the

victims.
