Yeah, that's the funny thing stickball... Crime is rapidly going down... heck Crime went DOWN during the recession and not up... despite the fact you think it'd go up... what with lots of people going bankrupt and being forclosed on.
It should also be noted that the UK is actually "catching up" in terms of crime. No clue if that has anything to do with the prison system though... I'd wager not... but it's worth noting for those who do think inter country comparisons are fairly easy. Really we should decriminalize marijuna... that'd probably cut down on our prisoner rate and crime rate quite a bit alone.
