Paper Summary:

The paper contends that "three strikes and you're out" mandatory sentence laws do not reduce the crime rate. The paper discusses the reasons for the three strikes legislation, and explains how it works. The paper discusses that there is lack of evidence to show it reduces the crime rate.

From the Paper:

""Three Strikes and You're Out" crime laws which are now in effect in almost all states in the U S are essentially laws that mandate that an individual who commits three of a certain group of felonies receives a mandatory prison sentence ranging from years to life. Mauer Walker's Proposition states succinctly that three strikes and you're out laws are a terrible crime policy. In this essay, arguments supporting Walker's Proposition will be advanced."
