Abstract

Analysis of a combined cross‐sectional/time‐series sample of records of the activities of patrol officers, reports of breaches of fisheries regulations, and associated court records in Queensland lends support to the hypothesis that economic factors are important in determining crime rates. An increase in the probability of apprehension, higher penalties, and reduced delays before cases are heard in court are predicted to reduce crime rates. The analysis also identifies a loss of reputation effect which suggests that moral and social factors are also relevant.
