UCR Offenses Per Capita By State Crime Generation: OF = f(CR,SV, SE, MC) OFPC = (PRPC, SE,MC), i.e offenses per
capita varies with prisoners per capita, causal variables and moral compliance
SE: causal variables• Human capital: % of students above basic grade
4 reading, deaths per 100,000 from heart disease,% of children below poverty
MC moral compliance• % catholic, % weekly church attendance

Front Line: The Meth Epidemic http://www.pbs.org Assignment for class 1.5 million addicts in the US
• Worldwide more addicts than for horse and coke, combined Different than heroin and cocaine
• No natural supply• Synthetic• 9 factories in the world manufacture pseudoephedrin
Could focus on Supply• Limit availability of pseudoephedrin• Roadblock: pharmaceutical lobby

Prison Building since 80’s: Some Ideas Death Penalty Controversy in the 70’s
• Was death penalty effective?
• Was death penalty moral?
Ignoring incentives• Expected cost of punishment deters everybody
• Detention only controls those you catch
The law of unforeseen consequences• Relying on detention means the gulag
The power of ideas• The “Constancy of Imprisonment” hypothesis
• The “Serious Offender”

The factors that cause crime might have been getting better in the latter 90’s

Note:
The misery index bottoms out in 1998 and the crime rate bottoms out in 1999

When prisoners per capita was flat, offenses per capita was growing
When prisoners per capita started growing, offenses per capita leveled off and then declined

Relationships Between Stocks and Flows: Coordinating CJSRelationships Between Stocks and Flows: Coordinating CJS In equilibrium:
• Inflow = Outflow
The outflow is proportional to the stock• Outflow = k * Stock
• constant of proportionality, k, equals one divided by mean time served
– Admits * mean years served = stock of prisoners

We can not build prisons fast enough to increase capacity soon enough
The public wants more convicts sent to prison
But prisons are full So, what happens?

Capital constraint: Coordinating CJSCapital constraint: Coordinating CJS admits per capita per year * average years
served = prisoners per capita Prisoners per capita is limited by prison
capacity If you increase admits per capita per year,
then average years served decreases until prison capacity catches up
