Does Crime Pay?
Therefore the crimes, not punishable by the court of law, are breaches of rules consequently resulting in ines
and fees. These ines and fees are collected for cancellation charges, late returns, late payments, “no shows,”
and bank overdrafts. Furthermore, these revenues are cost free. They could be characterized as pure proit
without expense. In some cases they even reduce cost.
In the case of late fees the governing force is the college university. Yes, the university is state funded, but the
tuition late fee payment beneits the school. Does all of this not fuel the economy? Finally the authors will
examine the privately owned drug and alcohol clinics and classes that one must take to avoid a conviction and
escape sentencing. These establishments including COAD (Chester County Council on Addictive Diseases),
located in Exton, Pa, are individual entities, separate from the state, and do not include their revenues in the
Chester County budgets. For example, COAD charges an individual arrested for driving under the inluence
approximately three hundred dollars for enrollment in local government mandated classes. The compilation
of such money stimulates the local economy and inluences a greater enhancement of the Chester County
community relationship.
In conclusion it would be vindictive to assume that crime is strictly detrimental with regards Chester County’s
inancial stability and economic infrastructure. In order to tie everything together one must imagine the big
picture. The cash low cycle responsible to crime has a deep impact on the local economy. Does crime pay? Yes
crime pays for itself, and also provides an economic beneit to Chester County and its subsidiaries.

Data was retrieved from the 2006 Chester County Budget. The cost ratio’s were determined based on the stated
Chester County civil/criminal ratio which equaled: 12% civil and 88% criminal.
