DOJ

After reading Problem 7-1: Cost-Benefit Evaluation of DOJ’s Implementation of the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (EGN, pp. 732-35), write 3-5 sentences discussing all of the following questions:

· How does DOJ’s analysis comport with what you’ve learned about cost-benefit analysis?

· Do you see any problems with DOJ’s analysis? What would be your critiques?

· Do you think DOJ’s standards will reduce the incidence of prison rape? Why or why not?

· What additional information would you want if you were going to reevaluate PREA and its regulations under a cost-benefit approach?
