Description
Summary:Piehl comments on James P. Lynch and William J. Sabol's study entitled Assessing the Effects of Mass Incarceration on Informal Social Control in Communities, saying that their study challenges everyone to contemplate the implications of the extremely high rates of incarceration in particular communities. Aside from the fact that their study emphasizes consequences of mass incarceration lead to poor outcomes in terms of crime, Piehl adds that the consequences would be much broader, including weakened economy, lowered housing stock, and family disruption.
