Reading this makes me think: this could plausibly be true specifically of _corporate_ misconduct. The enforcement is mostly fines, and corporate decision-making tends to be more "rational" than traffic violations or violent crimes.

Think it’s more plausible on the cost side. But even if corporate crime types are more rational, they still will heavily discount away future extra yrs of punishment. And that “if” is big: it’s possible that those who commit white-collar crimes are disproportionately impetuous.
