I will, somewhat less boldly, second epsilon.
I did some digging through google scholar, and didn't find any quoted instances of perverse incentives on murder. There seems to be a meme that perverse incentives does impact this class of crimes, as it was mentioned several times. But I was not able to find/access any studies that addressed the issue.
I won't say it's pure bullshit, but I certainly question it's validity.
The argument assumes that criminals plan for the case where they are caught (as a general rule they do not). And I will go dig up the needed articles for that if people don't believe me.
