The offense is defined as "a violation of a rule or law for which a penalty will ultimately be prescribed by some authority or power" (Crime). What if the offense does not exist? Who would finance public works? How many jobs do not exist? The community would require more funding from federal and state grants? Among other things, it is true that the derivation of financial crime is a punishment? The crime is economically beneficial or harmful to society? In this case study, the authorswill try to answer these questions. Using a sample, the authors show that funds derived from criminal activity to offset the costs of crime. In addition, this report presents the results of a detailed cost-benefit analysis, which includes the financial impact and benefits that crime imposes on society. This report states that the offense of acting as a stimulant economic. Instead of focusing on the morality of the crime, the authors focus on the financial andeconomic impact of criminal activity.
The first step in the process was to analyze a sample of choice. The sample size was important because it had to be an accurate representation of the population. The authors chose Chester County, Pennsylvania, because of its importance to West Chester University. Then assembled together the multiple authors and compiled financial statements. Income and disbursements and payments were made to each district court together with the budget Chester County. ForThe purpose of the search for revenues and expenses that were directly or indirectly, in connection with the crime, the data extracted from these documents (see Figure 1 shows).
The "statement" made the crime, which has made authors have demonstrated their financial assumptions to be true and accurate. The "income" final, said that the revenue and costs are almost equal. Therefore, the costs of crime are compensated directly from the crime revenue. Furthermore, let out a Chester Countygain of about two million dollars. Based on this analysis, it is fair to say that crime is easy financially advantageous for Chester County. This idea came to the conclusion that no additional state and state funding would be necessary if the crime did not exist. It should be noted that they were forced during the process of analysis, the authors make reasonable and proper assessment because of lack of information and resources. Detail so far as possible, the authorsreported the breakdown of costs in the respective categories of civil and criminal cases by the district courts of the officer. (See Figure 1 Exhibit, * 1). The general health and wellbeing of a community is important for all residents of Chester County. A stable economy is essential for successful living / county relations. Crime stimulates the local economy in many ways. The economic benefits directly and indirectly related crimes are countless. The authors have decided to name a fewthese benefits.
First, in determining the effect of crime on public works, two aspects must be considered. One is that the public works by state and federal grants and revenue will not be financed by the criminals. Therefore, one might think, crime has no effect on public works. Or not? Community service is another form of punishment, usually parallel to blame financial. In fact, non-violent criminals to contribute their work to the economy and other public utility projects.This "free labor" includes the performance of public works and general welfare of the community. If an amount of money can be assigned to community service, then the cost of excess revenues of public service that civil works to be financed by the State Second, there are many works that directly refer to the existence of the crime. These occupations often goes by lawyers, judges and law enforcement / probation / Parole Officer to go to prison security and judicial officials. Morethe local community to create jobs and decent wages for a lifetime employee benefits of their employees. The average salaries of police officers in uniform range of 4-60 dollars per year, excluding bonuses and overtime (Police Patrol). Lawyers who practice law for more than four years from an average of $ 90,000 and forcing them into a higher tax bracket (Salary Survey). Crime without a high-paying jobs may be moving towards extinction.Therefore, the county would receive less tax payments. Most lawyers are collecting salaries from local government, but they make a decent living. No more crime officers, lawyers, judges and police in civil matters still exist, but not in its current capacity.
Other important occupations that would be affected by the elimination of crime, the U.S. military. Many Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy personnel are located in Chester County, including one ofThe authors, Marine Corporal Cianci. In fact, it is an army base in the National Guard in downtown West Chester, Pennsylvania is not a crime, there would be a decline in the capacity of the armed forces. The loss or decline of these works will depend on crime to damage the local economy. The school system is another company that has been affected by crime. Chester County schools such as West Chester University, Penn State Great Valley, Immaculata University and is known for its criminal justice system announcedPrograms. Without crime, empty classrooms and teachers would be unemployed. The universities would be forced to shrink. The curriculum court would cease to generate income. University, based their curriculum would be distributed strictly according to law. Finally, the reader must consider how to influence the local economy of production. Prosecutors specifically drive vehicles, their skills help fight against crime and even make it possible. ThisVehicles are equipped with lights, sirens, and custom seats. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler are the three major automobile manufacturers in the United States for the assembly competent law enforcement vehicle (Police Car). If the crimes were eliminated from the manufacturing segment of the economy would be blurred. Decreased production would lead to a decrease in the gross domestic product. The principles of economics to establish that production companies in the United States provide a greatereconomic benefits compared to imported vehicles.
The study's authors doubt that the crime determines influences economic infrastructure. Without losing a crime of the economic pie would be complex. The most important influence comes from the cash flow that creates the crime. The revenues moved to the district courts, the benefits of paid and re-distributed individual municipalities and the province as a whole. It 'important to repeat the workand opportunities arising from the crime.
Now look at the previously established definition of the crime. This definition is an essential element in determining the '"other" financial and economic benefits of crime. At this point you might think, "where you want it?"
Previously, the authors have focused on the impact of crime and "law" reaction. The "law" includes all legal persons and legal entities that are dependent on the legality of the offense. What aboutCrimes that are punished financially by private institutions? These institutions are privately run universities universities, banks, apartment complexes, residential communities, libraries, movie / franchise rental companies medical / dental, and waste / recycling company. The privately owned companies are in power. Therefore, crimes not punishable by the court of justice, are violations of law resulting in fines and fees as well. These fines and fees collectedfor cancellation fees, late returns, late payment, "no show" and discovered. In addition, this revenue will be charged. Could be characterized as pure profit with no effort. In some cases the costs are even lower.
In the case of late fees, the dominant power is the University College. Yes, the university is funded by the state, but the late payment of registration fee benefits the school. It does all this does not stimulate the economy? Finally, the authors examine the drug, and privateAlcohol clinics and classes, and a conviction that I must flee to avoid sentencing. These structures, including Coad (Chester County Council on Addictions), in Exton, Pennsylvania, the single unit, separate from the state, and do not include budget revenue Chester County. For example, Coad taxes a person for driving under the influence of about $ 300 for enrollment in classes, local government has ordered arrested. The compilationelectronic money to stimulate the local economy and influences a wider extension of the Chester County community relationship.
Finally, suppose that would be vindictive crime is harmful to the strictly financial stability and economic infrastructure in Chester County. To tie it all together you have to imagine the big picture. The cash flow cycle responsible for the crime has a profound impact on the local economy. Crime does not pay? Yes, crime pays, and alsooffers economic benefits for Chester County and its subsidiaries.
