Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes the Three Strike Law which is used against repeated offenders. It uses the State of California as an example of the enforcement of this law and provides an overview of sources which are for and against its institution.

From the paper:

"Following the highly publicized kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaus and Kimber Reynolds, California Governor Pete Wilson signed the state's three-strikes law, Proposition 184, in March 1994. The law was designed to punish the most serious and habitual offenders and help control crime. By May 31, 2001, over 50,000 criminals had been incarcerated. This included 43,800 under a second strike provision."
