10. Even if a crime that has been committed by computer is discovered and reported, the odds of being both arrested and convicted greatly favor the criminal.

Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:

(A) The preparation of computer-fraud cases takes much more time than is required for average fraud cases, and the productivity of prosecutors is evaluated by the number of good cases made.

(B) In most police departments, officers are rotated through different assignments every two or three years, a shorter time than it takes to become proficient as a computer-crime investigator.

(C) The priorities of local police departments, under whose jurisdiction most computer crime falls, are weighted toward visible street crime that communities perceive as threatening.

(D) Computer criminals have rarely been sentenced to serve time in prison, because prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals and drug offenders.

(E) The many police officers who are untrained in computers often inadvertently destroy the physical evidence of computer crime.

没人提问，看来大家都理解到位了，请指点！我怎么觉得没有答案。D为什么对？

不敢说指点,谈谈我的看法,

我的理解是文章的结论是,犯罪者被逮捕后判刑的几率不大

而(d)说的犯罪者不太可能被判入狱,是某种具体的刑罚,.

不知对否,欢迎大家批评.呵呵!

我理解, 其结论是: 犯罪者被逮捕和定罪的几率较低( ARRESTED, CONVICTED)

D说的是SENTENCE的事情，这是ARREST和CONVICT之后的事情了

比如说，现在美国沸沸扬扬的SCOTT PERTERSON的案子，他被逮捕了，也被定罪了，即两项指控谋杀都成立, 但是还没有SENTENCE, 现在电视上整天都是关于"LIFE OR DEATH"的报道，还不知道他是死还是活

有道理！谢谢！经过两位启发，也发现其它选项更侧重于不能定罪（要么没经验，要么证据不足什么的），D的确角度不同。
