Answer:
Incarceration has had a limited impact on crime rates.
Step-by-step explanation:
Incarceration means to confine somebody or restrain somebody within certain limits in prison. Incarceration is one type of rehabilitation or punishment for felony offenses.
United States have the largest population of prisoners in the world. According to the report of the Human Rights Watch, 2014 stated that U.S. after adopting the law of tough on crime have incarcerated many non violent offenders. But this policy failed to rehabilitate the offenders and it worsen their state after release from the incarceration. Thus the mass incarceration cannot ascribed the reduction in crime rates. Thus it has a limited influence on crime rates.
