—“Incentive matters, and so does signalling.”—

by William L. Benge

Pompei fled to regroup, and to afterward take over by conquest the empire we know as Rome. When the internal war was settled, those hardened on Pompei’s side were made examples of… it was a first when the decision on the field was to raise them on pikes all along the route back to Rome. This became an adopted standard for execution.

Any action beyond permissive by an authority is deemed harsh by a criminal.

Crime requires disincentives be in place. Incentive matters, and so does signalling.
