Old forgotten links: policing as a factor in increased incarceration
Keywords:
Policing, Incarceration, Punitiveness, Interactions, CriminologyAbstract
The phenomenon of hyper-incarceration is a source of attention for researchers in the region, and studies seeking to understand it are increasing, but we still have many questions that we cannot answer. One of them, and the one I want to work on in this brief article, is: How does policing impact on the decrease or increase of the incarceration rate? Although few attempts have been made to establish a link between the police and their daily work and incarceration, there is research that has tried to do so, so in the following I intend to present some approaches and statements that are important to begin to pay attention to this line of work.
