Study on the Causes for the Large Number of Prisoners in the United States ()
ABSTRACT
Larger population base, the implementation of harsher laws, deep-rooted
stereotypes and racist prejudices against black people mainly due to the
transformation of rectification ideology, and a myriad of unsolved social
problems jointly contribute to the shocking number of prisoners we see in the
United States today.
