UCLA Teacher of Public Affairs Mark Kleiman is “upset about having excessive criminal activity and an excruciating variety of individuals behind bars.” The United States is house to 5 percent of the world’s population and 25 percent of the world’s detainees, yet, states Kleiman, our high imprisonment rate isn’t making us much safer.
In his book, “When Strength Stops Working,” Kleiman discusses that, when it concerns penalty, there is a compromise in between intensity and speed. For too long the U.S. has actually erred greatly on the side of seriousness, however if we focus enforcement and supply instant effects for law-breakers, Kleiman states we can both minimize the criminal activity rate and put less individuals in jail.
