A pаrticulаr crime is currently cоmmitted 100 times per yeаr in Madisоn. The crime itself has a sоcial cost of $20,000 each time it’s committed. Police catch 20% of the people who commit this crime, all of whom get convicted. For this problem, we’ll ignore the cost of detection (money spent catching people), since it will remain the same, and we’ll ignore the cost of trials. The punishment for this crime is currently 1 year in jail, which causes $20,000 of disutility to the criminal and costs the city $30,000. A. Counting both the cost of the crime itself and the expected punishment, what is the total social cost that is incurred each time this crime is committed? Concerned about how much the city is spending, legislators are considering a proposal to change the punishment from a year in jail to a $10,000 fine. This would not change the spending on detection, or the fraction of people caught. B. If this policy change did not change the crime rate, how much money would it save the city? C. If this policy change did not change the crime rate, how much would it increase or decrease the total social costs related to this type of crime? In fact, criminologists expect this policy would lead to an increase in the crime rate. D. Would this change increase efficiency if it led to a 30% increase in crime? What if it led to a doubling of the crime rate? E. Explain why a much larger fine might not work to reduce the crime rate. A different legislator is less worried about costs and more concerned about reducing the crime rate. He proposes tripling the punishment for this crime to 3 years in prison. The longer sentence would cause $60,000 disutility to the criminal and cost the city $90,000. Again, this would not change the spending on detection or the fraction of people caught. F. How would this change the social cost of this crime each time it happens? G. Would this proposal increase efficiency (relative to the current punishment of one year) if it led to a 20% reduction in the crime rate? What if it led to a 50% reduction in the crime rate? A sociologist argues that a three-year prison sentence is extremely disruptive to a person’s life – in three years, someone might lose their job, their home, and many of their social ties – and rather than $60,000, the harsher punishment would do $160,000 worth of harm to each convicted criminal. H. Based on this, is the increase in punishment efficient if it leads to a 20% crime reduction? If it leads to a 50% crime reduction?
