Answer to Question 1

Placing more criminals behind bars should decrease the crime rate if they are incarcerated during their prime crime years. This is because incarceration shortens criminals' span of opportunity to commit crimes. There is little evidence, however, that incapacitating criminals will actually deter them from committing future crimes. In fact, there may be reason to believe they may be more inclined to commit more crimes upon release.

Answer to Question 2
