The state legislature has proposed a new law that would provide a tax credit to people who install alarm systems in their homes. Members of the legislature claim that the new law will reduce crime, citing studies showing that crime rates fall as the percentage of homes with alarm systems rises.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the claim that the new law will reduce crime?
A. No law can prevent crime altogether.
B. The amount of the tax credit is so low relative to the cost of alarm systems that very few people will install alarm systems in order to obtain this credit.
C. Neighborhood crime prevention programs can reduce crime as effectively as alarm systems can.
D. The state would have to build more prisons to house all the people caught by the new alarm systems.
E. The state Cannot afford to reduce taxes anyfurther.
