“”” This is one message I wish I could hammer into normal urban libs: the typical criminal does not commit a single crime or a handful of crimes. A tiny minority commit nearly all crimes, and when you incarcerate them the crime goes away. It isn't the case that mysterious systemic forces cause the crime to re-equalize after you lock up one career criminal, there isn't another one waiting in the wings to take his place. “”” Isn’t this wrong for exactly the reason you state for it being true? Like, crime is power law distributed. But that means most criminals are in the 80% who commit one or two crimes rather than the 20% committing nearly all the crime.
