The Political Economy of Crime Scene Cleanup

The political economy of crime scene cleanup works something like this, and I will not bore myself with the facts and details found at crime-scene-cleanup-cronyism. (I do need to work on this web site, though.)

Crime Scene Cleanup with Insurance
Many if not most of the crime scene cleanup jobs with home owner's insurance go to the crony companies because they control the sources of distribution of work. That is, they are in with the coroner's employees, medical examiner's employees, county administrator's employees, homicide detectives, and others. This is not the majority or even a small majority of the aforementioned government employees, but a very tiny percentage. How could it be otherwise? They are not about to share the golden egg with their employee peers.

These jobs represent the most lucrative jobs, and many can be done by one cleaner in two or three hours and the company invoices reflect $6,000, $8,000 and even $30,000 charges.

Crime Scene Cleanup without Insurance
These are the "crumbs" of the crime scene cleanup business. These jobs come from apartment complexes, small businesses, a few non-profit businesses, police departments, and others.
They have no insurance and pay in the hundreds, not the thousands, for the same type of work.

That's about all I have to say on the political economy of crime scene cleanup today.
