The fact that people have been hurt by crime is not in dispute, certainly not by me.
The question that I thought you were asking is whether there's a relationship from increased incarceration to increased public safety. There's a tremendous body of academic literature that would suggest that there is no straight-line relationship between increased incarceration and increased public safety. In fact, some studies claim findings of the opposite. We know that when people are returned to a community in a safe, structured way and properly supervised, society benefits from lower recidivism.
