The Relationship between Lenght of Incarceration and Recidivism

There is considerable debate in the literature regarding the link between sentence length and recidivism.  Consistent with a specific deterrence perspective, some research findings support the perspective that longer sentences will deter future re-offending.  In contrast, others have found either no link or criminogenic effects, whereby longer sentences result in more re-offending.
