Criminologist: Some legislators advocate mandating a sentence of life in prison foranyone who, having twice served sentences for serious crimes, is subsequentlyconvicted of a third serious crime. These legislators argue that such a policy would reduce crimedramatically, since it would take people with a proven tendency to commitcrimes off the streets permanently. Whatthis reasoning overlooks, however, is that people old enough to have served twoprison sentences for serious crimes rarely commit more than one subsequentcrime. Filling our prisons with suchindividuals would have exactly the opposite of the desired effect, since itwould limit our ability to incarcerate younger criminals, who commit a fargreater proportion of serious crimes.
