Suppose the administration of a University that is located a high-crime urban area mustdecide on a policy to increase policing on its campus. The student population is 10,500 students but iscould increase if crime is reduced. The cost of added policing in terms of additional salary and equipmentis estimated to be $2.4 million per year.
