Cost of crime

Original research - this appears to be just an author's opinion, or perhaps a school essay. There are no references, nothing to indicate notability or where the generalized statements came from. Referring to itself as "this study" reinforces the impression of original research. Yet there is no encyclopedic content: the article basically says that "the cost of crime is important but nobody knows what it is". The article was PRODed and the original author removed that tag without comment. Gronk Oz (talk) 14:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TNT - this has been the subject of serious scholarly inquiry, but this is not a proper article. Bearian (talk) 00:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
