The Social Cost of America's Race to Incarcerate
Over the past three decades, the United States has been engaged in an unprecedented expansion of its prison system, with the national inmate population rising from just over 300,000 in 1972 to nearly two million today. Much of this increase has been related to an overreliance on the criminal justice system as a means of responding to social problems and, in particular, to the expansion of harsh sentencing policies. There is little evidence that t…
An Analysis of the Economics of Prison Siting in Rural Communities
Research Summary: This study is the first of its kind to use statistical controls to measure the effects of prison siting on the host county. We use an interrupted time series design to measure the impact of prison siting on employment and income indicators in rural New York State from 1977 to 2000. Results indicate that prisons have had no substantive or statistically significant impact on host counties. Policy Implications: In the last decades …
Race, Class, and the Development of Criminal Justice Policy1
Racial disparities in the criminal justice system are profound and well documented. A range of scholarship has examined these trends to assess the degree to which they result from biased decision making at various levels of the justice system. Also key to understanding the origin of these disparities is an analysis of the race and class determinants of criminal justice policy. This can be seen most clearly in the development of drug policy, but a…
Analyzing and Responding to the Driving Forces of Prison Population Growth
The Causes and Consequences of Prison Growth in the United States
The unprecedented growth in the prison and jail population in the United States can be traced to a complex set of political developments and changes in sentencing practice. The rise in crime in the 1960s came at a time of increasing social divisions and the politicization of crime at the national level. This influenced and coincided with a debate on sentencing practice, which led to a dramatic shift away from the indeterminate sentencing model th…
