On controlling crime with corrupt officials

Article Abstract:

Prevention of crimes proves to be futile when law enforcing officials are corrupt. A simple model of crime and corruption shows that crime cannot be placed under control if the reservation payoff of the official resembles the criminal's. It would still be very challenging to control crime even when the penalty is high because the effort of the corrupt official can have an effect on the probability of detection.
