The federal report 2018 Update on Prisoner Recidivism: A 9-Year Follow-up Period (2005-2014) focuses on recidivism and shows that, overall, the majority of persons released from prison continue to engage in crime. Write an essay which briefly summarizes (i) three-strikes laws and the research on effects (or lack thereof) of such laws on crime rates, (ii) the research on recidivism among released prisoners, and (iii) YOUR VIEWS on whether three-strikes laws should or should not be utilized.
