Quantitative Reasoning 2 Project
I choose the topic of Predicting Total U.S. correctional population in 2018. The down sizing of U.S. jails and prisons should affect these numbers. I am interested to see as more crimes receive a lesser sentence, in to which only requires a probationary sentence, how it should increase the numbers of adults supervised by the correctional system. I firmly predict that the number for people supervised by U.S. adult correctional system will increase for 2018. Probation and Parole are closely similar for those who end up on the wrong side of the law. Probation is used for lighter sentences, or first-time non-federal offenders to maintain a certain lifestyle to stay out of trouble. Parole is for serious offenders that have served their time in prison and must also maintain a certain lifestyle under the correctional system. I hope to discover in my analysis of the incline of persons supervised by the U.S. adult correctional systems in 2018.
