  • The Short- and Long-Run Effects of Private Law Enforcement: Evidence from University Police *
    The Journal of Law and Economics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Paul Heaton, Priscillia Hunt, John M. Macdonald, Jessica Saunders
    Abstract:

    AbstractOver a million people in the United States are employed in Private security and Law Enforcement, yet very little is known about the effects of Private police on crime. The current study examines the relationship between a Privately funded university police force and crime in a large US city. Following an expansion of the jurisdictional boundary of the Private police force, we see no short-term change in crime. However, using a geographic regression discontinuity approach, we find large impacts of Private police on public safety, with violent crime in particular decreasing. These contradictory results appear to be a consequence of a delayed effect of Private police on crime.

  • Private Cops on the Fraud Beat: The Limits of American Business Self-Regulation, 1895–1932
    2009
    Co-Authors: Edward J. Balleisen
    Abstract:

    From the late 1890s through the 1920s, a new set of nonprofit, business-funded organizations spearheaded an American campaign against commercial duplicity. These new organizations shaped the legal terrain of fraud, built massive public-education campaigns, and created a Private Law-Enforcement capacity to rival that of the federal government. Largely born out of a desire among business elites to fend off proposals for extensive regulatory oversight of commercial speech, the antifraud crusade grew into a social movement that was influenced by prevailing ideas about social hygiene and emerging techniques of Private governance. This initiative highlighted some enduring strengths of business self-regulation, such as agility in responding to regulatory problems; it also revealed a weakness, which was the tendency to overlook deceptive marketing when practiced by firms that were members of the business establishment.
