Here's a little criminological snapshot of incarceration rates in the U.S. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this one speaks volumes not only about the high rates of incarceration in the U.S., but the incredible social cost that is associated. Something to think about for all you would-be criminologists in the audience.

Great article! So easy to follow and appealing to the eye. It would be great to see more articles hiold this clarity.
Possibly illegal drug posession is seen as a factor in furthering illegal income by no income tax being paid on the income generated by the sale of these drugs. Seeing as the police exist almost solely to enforce political policy designed to protect property rights, it seems obvious why there are high incarceration rates for these non-violent crimes.
Why do police pursue bank robbers? Shouldn’t that be the responsibility of the organsation they stole from?
Yes! very exciting right-brained Creativity! A manifestation motivated by creativity or does the creative thought only manifest when there is motivation present? Smoking marijuana enhances creative skills and right brain activity : )
I find it astounding that we see the facts and realize the absurdity of it all but yet it continues. Sociologists prove that our ‘public safety’forces and government originally designed for the people to protect their rights are the actual architects of the people’s demise and failings.
This is really great! I dig the the attempt to forge a dialog between academia and the rest of the world. From the sociological perspective these systematic injustices are so clear, its high time for a more approachable manifestation of quantitative statistics to be realized and made available.
Excellent illustration.
