Abstract
► Monopolistic enforcers underinvest in enforcement because they ignore deterrence. ► Combining law enforcement with tax collection mitigates this problem. ► A joint enforcer-collector wants to deter crime to maximize his tax income. ► Historical examples from European feudalism and the Ottoman Empire are discussed.
