"King: I have sent to seek him and find the body. How dangerous is it that this man goes loose! he's loved of the distracted multitude, who like not in their judgement, but their eyes; And, where 'tis so, th' offender's scourge is weighed, this sudden sending him away must seem deliberate pause. diseases desperate grown by desperate appliance are relieved or not at all"
this is found in verses 1-10 of act 4 scn. 3
In bold I have pointed out the main reason. I simply quoted it, I'll leave it to your interpretation.

∙ 10y agoOf course Claudius's approach changes over the course of the play. In act I he and Gertrude believe that Hamlet is not mad at all although they are concerned why he seems to be so troubled. After the nunnery scene, Claudius is persuaded that Hamlet is not mad and has some other problem ("Nor what he spake, though it lacked form a little, was not like madness."), but is actually prepared to consider confining him in some way. Polonius says "If she find him not, to England send him, or confine him where your wisdom best shall think." to which Claudius replies "It shall be so." Later in Act 3 he says to Ros and Guil, "I like him not, nor stands it safe with us to let his madness range." as a prelude to sending him to England. Claudius does not really believe that Hamlet is mad, but it makes a good pretext of sending him to England where he can be dealt with.
After Polonius's death, the issue has changed slightly. Hamlet has committed a murder and the question is not whether he should be confined as a madman but rather whether he should be arrested as a murderer. Claudius makes clear in Act 4 Scene 7 to Laertes why he wants Hamlet killed in England rather than Denmark (his plan as soon as he saw "The Murder of Gonzago"). Claudius was not prepared to move against Hamlet in Denmark "for two especial reasons . . . The Queen his mother lives almost by his looks . . . the other is the great love the general gender bear him."
