Tackling Mass Incarceration

This article shows the gap between rich and poor people. In my opinion young adults who exposures to neglect and poverty are more likely to commit a crime. In human service class, I learned that children who experience physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect in childhood may have mental and physical health outcomes in later life, such as depression, aggression, social problem, and risky sexual behavior. Because of these, young adults are more to stay behind bars or have mental illness. “Statistically, 55 percent of this population returned to crime within three years of release, costing taxpayers between $47,000 and $71,000 to imprison per person over an average of 12 to 18months and robbing their communities of a generation of human potential”. Thank to Roca’s program, crime rate is going down and changing young adult’s life. For example, she helps young adults to get an education and employment. This is a excellent example of advocacy in human service field.

-This article is somewhat not related to criminal, but i want to share this article.
