Information economics in the criminal standard of proof

Abstract In this paper we model the criminal standard of proof as a twofold requiring sufficient probability factum probandum and informativeness. The focus is on latter requirement, use decision theory to develop for We demonstrate that informativeness fundamentally question information economics switch-ability. our model, cost-benefit-analysis further investigations involves prediction possibility such will produce evidence switches from conviction acquittal. Critics Bayesian approach legal have claimed ‘weight’ cannot be captured in model. Contrary claim, shows how can modelled second order probability.
