Assignment:
Incarceration Rates/Crime Rates
We are now in what some people call the Crime Control Era. Over the past several years, on average, arrests have gone up, prison populations have increased and crime has gone down. This doesn't hold perfectly year to year but over an average of a few years it does. Does this mean that mass incarceration is the answer to crime control? Research this topic and provide statistics and analysis to show a clear picture of what is actually happening.
Write a 2 page APA style paper. Only the body of the paper will count toward the page requirement (the title page and references are in addition to the two pages).
In your paper include 2 to 3 references. Only one reference may be found on the internet. The other references must be found in the online library. You must cite the references in the body of your essay.
