About this listen

We continue our conversation around the War on Drugs and its relationship with the United States' increase in its prison population through the last quarter of the 20th century. This week we look at the argument that the it was policy decisions that drove the US to increase its number of inmates, rather than it being a direct result of more crime.

We look at the correlation between arrest rates and policy changes as well as incarceration rates to similar countries to the US as we explore this point of view.
