“When crime rates are high, spreading existing law enforcement resources equally among all potential offenders guarantees that any specific offense is unlikely to be punished. That leads to a vicious cycle of further increases in crime and further strains on law enforcement. Mr. Kleiman’s proposal to publicly announce a strategic priority enforcement list would create positive feedback loops that would break this cycle. It is an ingenious idea that borrows from game theory and the economics of signaling behavior.”
