description We examine the question of whether a combination of law enforcement and redistributive transfers will be used in fighting criminality due to poverty. This is done in a model where a proportion of the poor participates in illegal activities. The victims of theft are firms.

We show that transfers will be used to fight criminality only after a certain level of economic development has been reached.
