Let me summarize what Daniel Nagin, David Farrington, Patrick Langan, Steven Levitt, and William Spelman have shown. Other things being equal, a higher risk of punishment reduces crime rates.

PURTROPPO IL CARCERE FUNZIONA

the results of prison in America: It helps explain why this country has a lower rate of burglary than Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Germany, and the Netherlands, and a lower rate of auto theft than Australia, Austria, Canada, England, and Sweden. On the other hand, America’s homicide rate remains much higher than in those nations. America is more punitive, but except for homicide, it is also safer.

EFFETTO DEL CARCERE USA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 23
The key moral and political question is whether our greater personal safety is worth our greater use of prison.

LA QUESTIONE MORALE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 25
Racism exists here, but it cannot account for the fact that the racial identity of people who commit assaults and robberies is almost exactly the same as the racial identity of people who go to prison for those crimes.

RAZZISMO? NO

My research, like that of Orlando Patterson and others, suggests that slavery and Reconstruction deeply harmed African American culture by making intact families rare and denying to black victims the same degree of police protection that was afforded to whites.

WHY BLACK?

many black children have grown up in father-absent families.

imprisonment for African Americans is a wake up call for our historical failure to incorporate them into a functioning and constructive culture.

the gains, on the average, are small: recidivism rates are reduced by about 10 percent. Since two-thirds of all ex-cons commits a new offense within three years, a 10 percent reduction is not very much.

RIABILITAZIONE? FUNZIONA POCO

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 44
The best approach is to invest in crime prevention programs aimed at young children. Careful evaluations show that such efforts exist. They include the Perry Pre-School program, nurse home visitations, various parent-child training programs, and certain school-based programs.

INVESTIRE SUI PICCOLI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 48
many of the best prevention programs cost a lot of money for each child,

the programs that work are typically small, intense efforts that may or may not work if they are scaled up to be state-wide

PROBLEMA SCALE UP

Third, good programs often lose out to bad ones because the latter, though equally devoted to prevention, lack supportive evidence but have political muscle.

Glenn Loury acknowledges that imprisonment in America reduces crime but dislikes imprisonment despite this. I look forward to learning what he would put in its place. If it is rehabilitation, I hope he will explain what rehabilitative programs exist that can reduce recidivism by more than small amounts.

Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 79
post-prison employment programs have only a small effect on recidivism, but he defends them by saying that prison also has only a modest effect on recidivism. He is correct, but he neglects the deterrent effect of prison

LAVORO. POCO EFFICACE

ALLORA MEGLIO IL CARCERE

prison also has a retributive effect: people, especially victims of crime, want the wrongdoer to be punished.
