As Michelle Alexander has noted in her recent book, “The New Jim Crow,” the United States has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world; this seems to be a deliberate strategy to deal with black males who are frequently viewed as a threat to the social order.
What response would Ms Alexander recommend when dealing with Robbery, Rape and Violent Assault/Murder?
Longer terms --> higher incarceration rates --> lower crime rates.
