SIDELIGHTS:

Gary E. Marché told CA: "My area focus is illegal behavior and law enforcement. I look for interdisciplinary disagreement and explanations for such. I highlight the limited focus of economics on deterrence to include rational criminal choice in the context of criminal opportunities created by investigative inefficiencies that may be due to noneconomic training and theory. I propose solutions to problems based on economic analysis of noneconomic or criminal justice systems data.

"The main influence on my work is that I have actually observed an investigation of a planned homicide involving organized crime, professional offenders, and corrupt public officials. The case is still unsolved. Observation of investigative inefficiencies that provided criminal opportunities also provided an opportunity to learn more about this topic."
