总体而言，我们证明大规模监禁是一种在当地经历过的现象，并且随着时间的推移遵循稳定的模式。监禁热点并非随机发生；相反，它们是根据关键社会特征系统预测的。特别是，即使根据社区的犯罪率进行调整，贫困、失业、家庭破裂和种族隔离等因素的结合也与高监禁率密切相关。这些因素表明一种自我强化的循环，使一些社区陷入负反馈循环。监禁的稳定性和基于地点的性质对我们如何思考政策反应具有广泛的影响。
Overall, we demonstrate that mass incarceration is a phenomenon that is experienced locally and that follows a stable pattern over time. Hot spots for incarceration are hardly random; instead, they are systematically predicted by key social characteristics. In particular, the combination of poverty, unemployment, family disruption, and racial isolation is bound up with high levels of incarceration even when adjusting for the rate of crime that a community experiences. These factors suggest a self-reinforcing cycle that keeps some communities trapped in a negative feedback loop. The stability and placebased nature of incarceration have broad implications for how we think about policy responses.
