Reynolds, Morgan O.

National Center for Policy Analysis (Dallas, TX)

Published 1998. 30 pages.

Noting that the national crime index has declined for six straight years, the author contends that the explanation is that courts have been handing out tougher punishment for crime, and potential criminals know and fear it. Quoting various studies published since 1963, she investigates the impact of stronger sentencing measures on adult and juvenile offenders and would-be offenders, and on public opinion.
