Week 1 Project: Incarceration Rates in the U.S.

You are an expert on correctional systems and have been invited to participate in a conference on “Incarceration Rates in the U.S.” In an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation address the following:

  • An analysis of US incarceration statistics compared against other countries, particularly the percentage of the population undergoing incarceration or some other form of correctional supervision.
  • Possible reasons behind high incarceration rates in the U.S.
  • Suggested methods of reducing the high incarceration rates.

Be sure you are comparing rates and not just raw numbers. Also be sure you are obtaining data from trusted sources.

Write additional contents and provide explanation in the Notes section of the Presentation.

Support your responses with examples.
