In this book the author undertakes to assess, for the first time, the effect of these abuses on the economic performance of the country. He does so by presenting a quantitative measurement of the impact of lawlessness on Pakistan's economic development with special reference to the years 1969-96, though other critical periods have also been touched upon. As an economist and criminologist, turned police officer, Mr. Nadeem has first-hand knowledge of problems relating to lawlessness, and is also well-acquainted with the strategies of economic development adopted in Pakistan from time to time.  aCrime--Economic AspectsaEconomic HistoryaCrime -- Economic Aspects -- PakistanaPakistan -- Economic Conditions
