In recent years in America, the mandatory sentencing(强制判刑) movement has really changed the US prison size. The mandatory sentencing movement typically stated the minimum number of prison years for certain crimes people committed. It swept the United States in the 1970s, driving the state prison population up from less than 200,000 to about 1.4 million today and made prisoning budgets the second-fastest-growing state expense, only second to Medic-aid. But the current sentencing reforms in a growing number of states are starting to reverse that trend — causing the prison population to decline by about 3.8 percent since 2009.
Central to the state reforms is a relatively new and more complicated way of information analysis about the law-breaker — including criminal history, drug abuse(滥用) and instances of anti-social behavior — to assess the likelihood of that individual’s committing a new crime. And by examining data, the states can revise policies to discourage them from going back to prison.
Many states have found that many people go back to prison not for committing new crimes but for technical mild violations(违反), like failing drug tests or abnormal behaviors due to mental problems. With that knowledge, these states have moved to less costly and more effective actions to replace jail stay. Today, they tend more to send these people for community service.
Some states are also jumping at what is known as the “justice reinvestment” approach, under which they channel significant sums of money into the existing programs on drug treatment and mental health, two main issues behind crimes for many law-breakers.
Despite the advantages of a risk-assessment approach, some states are still flying blind mainly because they don’t have the resources to gather data. Moreover, a study has noted, handling high-risk and low-risk criminals in the same way is a big mistake, as “low risk individuals have an increased likelihood of committing crimes again when they receive treatment or services in the same programs as medium- and high-risk individuals.”
