Post by: stars_and_moon on Jul 20, 2016
Traffic cameras increase the likelihood an individual will get caught if they commit a traffic violation such as running a red light.  Which of the following statements is true?
A) The presence of traffic cameras has no effect on the incidence of people committing traffic violations because individuals do not consider the probability of getting caught when they commit traffic violations.
B) The presence of traffic cameras has no effect on the expected cost of the crime because the amount of fines for traffic violations has not changed.
C) The presence of traffic cameras increases the expected cost of the crime because the probability of getting caught has increased.
D) The presence of traffic cameras has no effect on the incidence of people committing traffic violations but increases the number of people convicted of violations because there is greater evidence.
