Abstract

This research Methods Brief is the second in a series of JRSA resources focused on economic evaluation. It describes the basic steps involved in cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and briefly discusses the value of CBA as a decision-making tool in the criminal justice system. While it is written for researchers who are interested in learning how to conduct CBA, consumers of CBA findings may also find the report informative.
