*When Brute Force Fails*

I think that restitution should be the default punishment for property crimes.

“The average 1974 burglary yielded about $320 (in today’s dollars), which amounts to about $80 a day payment for time behind bars. Even forgetting about the fixed costs of getting a criminal record, or a longer criminal record, that screams out to me: “It isn’t worth it!”"

This screams to me that Tyler has never tried to pay bills on a couple of part-time no-benefit minimum-wage jobs.
$7.25/hr x 10hrs/day < $80 a day

1. $7.25/hr x 10hrs/day < $80 a day
2. There is a wide distribution of probabilities of getting caught. A skilled burglar can work for years without capture. A unskilled burglar is too dumb to accurately estimate his probability of getting caught.

If your options are to make $70 a day at Mcdonalds or steal stuff then you have to figure in that you will be paying payroll taxes right off the bat plus other withholding. If you steal some stuff you can evade payroll taxes. If you go to jail 4 days then you are also getting free meals/workout equipment/libraries and networking opportunities. They can discuss various techniques with people in the same line of work, learn about the most frequent errors that criminals make and then try to improve their methods by eliminating those simple mistakes. They can also learn about the legal system and figure out better ways to play the lawyer/evidence/court game.

Invisible hand(cuffs) ?

Looks like an example of “missing markets in almost everything”, a useful parallel series to Prof. Cowan’s fascinating “markets in almost everything” series!

I suspect most burglars *hugely* discount the future. Jail time is usually paid farther in the future than the procedes would be gained.

Along the same lines I suspect that many burglars are drug addicts who need money ASAP to avoid withdrawal. People who need to pay off debts with high consequences for failure also come to mind. Without a good credit score these people probably don’t have other means to get the money immediately.

So if I highly discount the future and I get huge utility gains from having cash within the day the lack of competing ways to make a quick buck makes it perfectly rational to be relatively non-responsive to decreases in the cost per prison day.

どのジャージにおいても、タテに走るネイビー色のラインは生地に直接染めてありますNIKE ジャージ。
レプリカジャージはナイロンメッシュ生地です。NIKE ジャージほぼ同じ倍率にも関わらず、メッシュ穴の大きさが他の２つに比べて、小さく非常にきめ細かに入っていることがわかります。またナイロン独特のテカつきがあるのも特徴ですNIKE ジャージ。
一方、スウィングマンジャージはポリエステルメッシュ生地で出来ていますNFLジャージ。レプリカジャージよりもメッシュ穴が大きく、目を凝らすと生地の織り目まで見えます。オーセンティックジャージ（≒実使用）にも同じ生地素材を採用してい用いるチームが多いため、より選手が着用する実使用の物に近い仕様になっております。また、手触りはレプリカジャージと異なり、reebok ジャージザラザラしているのも特徴です。
オーセンティックジャージは、reebok ジャージ同じチームでもホーム・アウェイ・３ｒｄ（現オルタネート）の種類ごとに生地の素材が異なる場合が多く、レイカーズ ジャージ今回は偶然にも、スウィングマンジャージの生地素材と同じでした。見た目はほとんど変わりませんが、オーセンティックジャージの方がメッシュ穴がきめ細かに入っています。また、触った感じではオーセンティックジャージの方が厚手に感じられます。
