Using electoral cycles in police hiring to estimate the effect of police on crime

Article Abstract:

An increase in the size of police forces during gubernatorial and mayoral election periods is found to significantly lessen violent crimes. It, however, has less effect on crimes against property. It cannot be rejected that the marginal social benefit of reduced crime rates is equivalent to the costs of employing more police forces. A rise in the number of police forces is found to be disproportionately concentrated during the election years for mayors and governors, which are utilized as an instrumental variable in determining the police's casual effect on the rate of crime.
