Tiivistelmä: | Consider the choice of a profiling policy where decisions to search (henceforth as: s.) for crime (here as: cr.) evidence may vary with observable covariates of the persons at risk of s. This study sets a planning problem (here as: pl-prb.) aiming to minimize the social cost of cr. and s. The consequences of a s. rule depend on the extent to which s. deters cr. Studied is the pl-prb. when the planner has partial knowledge of deterrence. It is shown how the planner can eliminate dominated s. rules and how he can use the minimax or minimax-regret criterion to choose an undominated rule. |
