Hussan, Reshmaan N. & Fetter, Holly. "Race and Mass Incarceration in the United States." Harvard Business Publishing.

A. Why does the United States - the leader of the GLO - face the greatest challenge with mass incarceration globally?

B. How have racial inequalities entered into and become normalized within the carceral system?

C. What history, institutions, ideologies, or other factors have contributed to the current system?

D. What should be the goals of incarceration and criminal punishment in a democracy? What is the goal of modern mass incarceration, and how does it compare? If mass incarceration does not accord with what you think the function of punishment should be, what alternatives better meet democratic ideals? Note: remember this is a policy statement and so no "I" statements

Include all of this as a policy memo as though you are on the staff of a state or national representative

On page 13 of the case study is a listing and description of several proposed reforms

Using the ranking of the proposed reforms from discussion and Consequences Tables for each, develop a risk profile and decision-trees (decision trees without and then with risk tolerance scoring).

Should be done in an organized and coherent format. Use Hammond, John S., Ralph L. Keeney, and Howard Raiffa, Smart Choices: A Practical Guide to Making Better Life Decisions, Chapters 6 ("Tradeoffs"), 7 ("Uncertainty"), and 8 ("Risk Tolerance") as a guide for developing the risk profile and decision-trees.

Along with a policy memo, which summarizes/highlights the key points, submit the consequences and alternatives tables.

The tables should appear professional (headings, labels, etc.) and your policy memo discussion should include a ranking of the reforms and a recommendation concerning which reforms you would first (and why) and least (and why).

Make sure to consider Trade-offs, uncertainty, and risk tolerance, as you doing this homework.
