“…First, because drug crimes were not systematically collected as part of the UCR program before 1985, they were not included among the independent measures of crime in the analyses. 13 Some scholars have argued that drug crimes are a major reason for increases in incarceration rates (Blumstein & Beck, 1999;Caplow & Simon, 1999;Sabol & Lynch, 1997).

La reemergencia de los "boot camps" con su énfasis en la disciplina militar y regímenes estrictos es presentado como el principal ejemplo de esta reversión (Simon, 1999). Al igual que Wacquant considera que las medidas penales se encuentran dirigidas desproporcionadamente a los pobres y a los grupos étnicos minoritarios, creando una "puerta giratoria" de acuerdo a la cual los miembros de estos grupos pasan repetidas veces a través de la prisión durante el curso de su vida, con consecuencias devastadoras sobre los individuos, las familias y los barrios (Caplow y Simon, 1999).…”
