タイトル：Law enforcement with liability statutes for legal error
要旨：This paper provides an inclusive framework that considers principal-agent relationships in the modern law enforcement process in which delegated law enforcers are agents of local/state governments that concern voter satisfaction. Then, we investigate how an enforcer with an intrinsic (non-monetary) motivation in the performances makes an effort to reduce legal error, e.g., wrongful conviction, reacts to the enforcement liability rule that citizens and governments propose in the political process. This paper shows that enforcers' efforts to reduce legal errors may change in accordance to the enforcement liability rule depending on the strength of intrinsic motivation. Then, if this liability rule is determined in the political process that represents citizens' interest, this distorts the use of enforcement liability rule and the deterrence effects.
