Diminishing Poverty and Racial Discrimination so as to Decrease Incarceration Rates

America is the country with the highest holding rate in the world, and one in 100 people is imprisoned. With this ratio, the United States is expected to have the lowest crime rate in the world, but the United States still has a crime. I can not deny that some things are wrong. The United States is not actually a person committing a serious crime but imprisoning a wrong person or imprisoning a person with a minor crime. This is probably because the solution for eradication of crime is not to put more people in prison, but to keep individuals away from the streets, while not progressing to reduce crime.

Although imprisonment certainly has a certain effect on crime - without any other method, a high crime rate can not be done over time - a high containment rate will lead to a decrease in public safety interests It is increasingly obvious. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, as the number of people imprisoned increases, there is a general tendency to target criminals who are not becoming increasingly serious. For example, in a modest prison system, the judicial system, including robbery, may use the criminal to imprison a high criminal. However, as the number of prison cells increases, there is no need to prioritize and there is room for imprisonment for criminals with high interest rates and low interest rates.

As Wacquant said, high-level imprisonment is often promoted by class power as poverty is the prime factor of prisoners. It is often said that poor people are in jail, but according to statistics, it is the first person that African Americans were affected by imprisonment policy. The study reveals a large model of the racial differences of the ruling and African-American men with low educational standards are imprisoned for departure from the judgment guidance, accept longer punishment or accept judgment There is a high possibility that the possibility will be lower. The -prison option resembles a Caucasian when available. Some African-American men explain that there are racial differences in the ruling, because the arrest rate is higher than policies and judgments without discrimination and there are many participation in serious violent crimes. The report concludes that there is evidence of direct racial discrimination (for the minority who was condemned by the judgment result)
