Analyze, from a sociological perspective, the relationship between crime rates and incarceration
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Even though crime rates have fallen since the 1980s, incarceration rates have continued to
climb.
2. Many changes in the law, especially around drug use, are partially responsible for the rise
in incarceration.
3. Mandatory minimums, which require that individuals serve a certain amount of time for
particular offenses, represent a change in the law that keeps more individuals in prison for
longer periods of time, without considering the specifics of each case. Students may give
an example of any law here.
4. Increased funding for criminal justice agencies has also pushed towards solving criminal
behavior through incarceration.
