Funneling (or shrinkage) is the correct answer.

Explanation: The phenomenon by which most criminals escape punishment and evade restitutions is known as the funnelig (or shrinkage) phenomenon which has a lot to do with a "leaky net". The reason why many escape from punishment and their financial obligations are:

  • Victims did not report the crimes.
  • Crimes not responded to or investigated.
  • Criminals were not arrested, indicted, prosecuted or convicted.
  • Criminals were not able to or unwilling to make the restitution.
