so one standard theory of crime is that p(commit crime) is a decreasing function of p(caught | commit crime) all else equal no idea what the effect of this is but making a big deal of it is likely worse for crime rates than doing it quietly bc it changes beliefs about risks https://twitter.com/bronzebarbarian/status/1293052233274159106 …
Well yes and no Like generally Commit crime iff E[Value of crime - cost of crime] > 0 Likelihood of getting shot is in cost of crime, so is likelihood of getting caught I was imagining holding likelihood of getting shot constant, c.p. = "all else equal"
