Murder as a Business Decision

An Economic Analysis of Criminal Phenomena, second edition

G. E. Marché

In the second edition of Murder as a Business Decision, a new chapter is added that covers aspects of additional real world planned homicide investigations. The new material covers investigations related to FBI undercover operation Strawman in Kansas City. Public record material is included and case investigations are described generically. Planned homicide investigations are analyzed and contrasted with economic based investigative techniques. There is an expanded analysis of whether FBI profiles are technically efficient in planned homicide investigation and a theory is developed that explains and predicts common observations related to FBI assistance in homicide investigation.
