Do we punish high-income criminals too strong
Much of the literature, there is the so-called “injustice” if the rich criminals face a lesser likelihood of a conviction that those less well-To-Do oblige the same crimes. (1) Some critics have pointed out that this proves that the legal system is not effective. (2) Others have argued that if the opportunity cost of detention is on the account, so that individuals accused of buying legal services mean that the likelihood of a conviction to the contrary, the opportunity costs of sentences and may be the highest level of deterrence. (3) However, not even adequately state the case, why human beings, higher opportunity costs should be a face lower probability of a conviction, given that this analysis focuses exclusively on formal disciplined by the courts - time in prison, fines and legal costs. I will show that for many of these convicts, including those who have the highest income presentence, the largest penalty is in the form of a reduction legitimate result after their return to the workforce. Although the data provides information for a year of the postconviction result, but only single-year revenue often dramatic, weighs all other monetary penalties can be combined. May decrease in personal income, either because of a loss of reputation for honesty and integrity or because of loss of human capital, while in prison. All other even if the highly paid people are facing the greatest decline in revenue postconviction, they should also be given the unlikelihood of a conviction, if all criminals are always the same penalty expects to incur a crime . It is clear that the scope of a criminal conviction legitimate weigh more revenue for one year, my knowledge of the size under penalty of reputational risks. The next section of a brief overview of some arguments, why an individual income is likely to lead to a decrease of criminal conviction. Section III provides empirical evidence on the amount of the reduction in income legitimate reason to belief and discussions, why this underestimation without doubt the real loss of income.
