@DrGuru_ Steph is my GOAT but yes, as a kid, he was going to find a gym wherever: 29 different NBA arenas he got to play in as a kid. Most kids don't have that privilege.
@CWingUexkull@elhijodealli7 also Peter Enns, the source of your graph, doesn't even claim it shows that incarceration lowers crime. He used it to explain how crime rates affect prison admissions and why long sentences and punitive policies can keep the prison population rising even after crime falls.
@CWingUexkull@elhijodealli7 That doesn't prove incarceration lowers crime. It plots 2 trends w/o controlling for any other cause of crime. It also undermines your claim: crime rose for decades while incarceration was increasing, and later continued falling after incarceration largely plateaud.
