Prison Sentencing and Criminal Activity: A Dynamic Model

Author

Listed:
  • Jacques Pelletan

Abstract

A dynamic model of time allocation between labor and criminal activity is developed, assuming that these activities are substitutable. Our attention specially focuses on the long-term influence of prison sentence on criminal activity. Two extensions are discussed to remove the undetermined impact of an increase in repression: heavier penalty for repeat offenders and ?enhanced human capital? sanctions.
