    Not sure why you’re being down voted, it’s a fair question, and I don’t have a specific study to link to.

    I just have anecdotes from working with criminals, and game theory.

    If something will add X% to your time in prison, but has a Y% chance of preventing you from being convicted in the first place, there are numbers where it makes sense to risk it.
    Granted, it’s much more likely in a single-victim sex-crime scenario than a fraud case that leaves behind kilometer-long paper trails
