Results from an evaluation of a habitual offender (HO) statute that was aimed at providing a selective incapacitation effect are provided. Six chapters comprise this report: introduction; history of Florida's Habitual Offender Law; theoretical considerations; review of the literature; research methods; findings -- initial results for crime rates and HO admission rates, crime rates and HO incarceration rates, and Florida's HO law and crime rates, and robustness checks using different variable configurations, dropping groups of control variables, by county population, and using an HO law dummy variable; and summary, discussion, and conclusions. Findings do not show that incarcerating HOs for extended periods of time reduced crime rates. Accession Number: 018988
