The policing systems used in the former Soviet Union and Communist China are prototypes of control systems found in many political systems. The system in the former Soviet Union is a variant on the 'police patrol', while the system in Communist China is a self-policing system calling upon citizens to report not only their own behavior, but the behavior of others. Our paper applies both game-theoretic and learning models to explore the relative effectiveness of the two systems.
