• Deterrence in the Twenty-First Century (2013, background): “However, the magnitude of the estimate varied widely: from nil for a study that allowed for the possibility that prevention effects decline as the scale of imprisonment increases (Liedka, Piehl, and Useem 2006) to 0.4 percent for each 1 percent increase in the imprisonment rate (Spelman 2000).”
