Mixed markets and crime

Article Abstract:

A game theoretical model is presented to analyze the crime control in a mixed market. Mixed market is formed when part of the business is privatized and government retains some of the control. Consequent modification to the policies are necessitated to prevent crimes. A permutation and combination of policies is examined to determine the crimes they can control and the crime targets that the criminals are likely to select. The effectiveness of policies in decentralized environment is also assessed.
