Definition

  • At first glance, many people would agree that America's criminal justice system is faced with numerous challenges, especially in terms of tackling overcrowding in correctional facilities and reducing recidivism. The United States experienced the highest incarceration rates in the world in the mid-1970s, as criminal justice policy shifted from a rehabilitative to a punitive model.
