Anonymous Quotes

Everything In The Area Of Law Enforcement, Including Criminal Law, Has At One Time Or Another Been Handled By The Private Sector Quite Adequately, And In Some Places It's Occurring Even Today. The Second Reason Is That In Fact The Law And Law Enforcement Are Not Public Goods. Public Goods Are Supposed To Be Goods That Everyone Has Equal Access To And That The Private Sector Will Not Provide. As I Said, The Private Sector Does Provide These Things, And Furthermore The Idea Of Equal Access To Justice Is Just Not True. We Have Scarce Resources Being Used In Law Enforcement And Adjudication And Prosecution And In Punishment, And So The Use Of These Resources For One Thing Means They Are Not Being Effectively Used For Something Else. There Are Tradeoffs. The Vast Majority Of Crimes That Are Reported To Police Are Never Resolved. The Vast Majority Of Crimes Committed Are Never Reported To Police. So The Belief That Law And Law Enforcement Are Public Goods Simply Doesn't Stand Up To Reality.
