Notes

Further Comments on Penalty and Crime

Gordon Tullock

Punishment is defined as the properly discounted imprisonment that a criminal can expect if he commits a crime. The specific term in prison enacted by the legislature, however, may not deter crime. This is because the prospects for actually serving that sentence are small. Tsebelis apparently believes that the police sabotage legislature acts in order to reach their own goals. Assuming that the police are free from supervision that might be true, but the assumption is false.

Key Words: crime • deterrent effect • penalty • prison sentence • punishment process
