1. In some countries, minor crimes are sometimes punished by sentencing the perpetrator to do community service such as helping in an old-age home, helping with the construction of a children’s playground, or cleaning up beaches. How does this niter into the cost-benefit calculations of a rational criminal? Is it effective in reducing minor crimes? Why is it sometimes used to sentence well-known public figures such as media stars and sports figures?

2. What happens to the optimal level of crime (deterrence), X* in the notation of Chapter 20 in the text? Use Figure 20.2 (I’ve attached figure 20.2) to answer the following questions.

If crimes get more vicious and hence the marginal cost of crime increases in society?
If police and other staff members of the legal system get substantial wage increases and hence the marginal cost of deterrence increases?
