Consider statistics such as these. Since 1980, the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Number of people on probation has increased by nearly 300%.<\/li><li>Prison population has increased by more than 400%.<\/li><li>Federal imprisonment rate has increased 500% (Schmalleger, 2021).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though we are in the midst of a period of mass incarceration in the United States, we know that incarceration doesn\u2019t work. Consider this quote from the video,&nbsp;<em>Psychology, Criminality, and Incarceration<\/em>&nbsp;in America: &#8220;Prisons don&#8217;t work. People do not get corrected in today&#8217;s prisons. Convicts come out worse than when they went in and are even a greater threat to society than before&#8221; (Lary, 2010). The Bureau of Justice Statistics has evidence supporting this sentiment. The 2018 Update on Prisoner Recidivism states an estimated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>68% of released prisoners were arrested within 3 years.<\/li><li>79% within 6 years.<\/li><li>83% within 9 years (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2018).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After reviewing the resources provided in the overview, you are to write a 2\u20133 page paper in which you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Distinguish among the four functions of corrections: retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation.<ul><li>Be sure to illustrate the distinctions with current and\/or historical examples.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Summarize the arguments for and criticisms of each of the four corrections functions.<\/li><li>Explain the current state of each of the four corrections functions in the United States.<\/li><li>Select a minimum of three corrections improvements included in the&nbsp;<em>Psychology, Criminality, and Incarceration in America<\/em>&nbsp;video that appear promising and explain why you think so.<\/li><li>Use three sources to support your writing.<ul><li>Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate.<\/li><li>Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.<\/li><li>Access the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/library.strayer.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Strayer University Library<\/a>&nbsp;or review library guides for help with research, writing, and citation.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>ML\\<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To successfully complete this assignment, you will need to: Refer to: The video,&nbsp;Psychology, Criminality, and Incarceration in America&nbsp;(30:19).
