الوصف: A growing body of empirical and qualitative evidence indicates that local police departments are increasingly being used as sources of revenue for municipalities through the imposition and collection of fees, fines, and asset forfeitures. We examine whether revenue collection activities compromise the criminal investigation functions of local police departments by constructing a novel data set of municipal finances, crime clearance rates, and demographics. We find that municipalities which collect a relatively larger per capita amount of revenue from fees, fines, and forfeitures solve violent crimes at relatively lower rates, conditional on background crime rates, police budgets, and demographics. These findings help to explain the puzzle of why communities which appear to be under intense police surveillance (“over-policed”) often also express demand for additional police resources.
