A politician campaigns on a platform of eliminating parole. One ad used by the politician says, "The early release of prison inmates leads to a higher crime rate. Inmates who are released early are not sufficiently punished and will, on average, recidivate more than inmates who are not released early." Construct a plausible alternative explanation for recidivism that does not involve an effect of early release on recidivism, but which does allow for their association.
What will be an ideal response?
An association between early release and recidivism is not sufficient for establishig causation as inmates who are released early likely differ systematically from offenders who are not released early.
