"...national population." In the last forty years, incarceration has increased with rates upwards of 500% despite crime rates decreasing nationally. [1] Between the years 2001 and 2012, crime rates (both property and violent crimes) have consistently declined at a rate of 22% after already falling an additional 30% in years prior between 1991 and 2001. [2] As of 2012, there are 710 people per every 100,000 U.S. residents in the United States that are imprisoned in either local jails, state prisons, federal prisons, and privately operated facilities. [2] This correlates to incarcerating a number close to almost a quarter of the prison population in the entire world. [3] Mass incarceration is an intervening variable to more incarceration [4].
