58. (33711-!-item-!-188;#058&007588)
The proposal to hire ten new police officers in Middletown
is quitefoolish. There is sufficient funding topay the salaries of the new officers, but not the salaries of additional courtand prison employees to process the increased caseload of arrests（拘捕，逮捕）and convictions（指控，判罪） that new officers usually generate.
Which of the following, if true, will mostseriously weaken the conclusion drawn above?(A) Studies have shown that an increase in acity's police force does not necessarily reduce crime.
(B) When one major city increased its police forceby 19 percent last year, there were 40 percent more arrests and 13 percent moreconvictions.
(C) If funding for the new police officers'salaries is approved, support for other city services will have to be reducedduring the next fiscal year.
(D) In most United States
cities, not allarrests result in convictions, and not all convictions result in prison terms. (E) Middletown's ratio of police officers tocitizens has reached a level at which an increase in the number of officerswill have a deterrent(威吓，制止) effect on crime.
