Title: Reconsidering the "Violent Offender"

Summary: Despite a wave of criminal justice reform around the country over the last decade, the U.S. incarceration rate remains the highest in the world (Travis, Western, and Redburn 2014; Kaeble and Cowhig 2018). People considered "low-level" and "nonviolent" have been the primary focus of reform efforts, but to significantly reduce incarceration, policymakers must fundamentally reconsider the "violent offender." In 2016, of the almost 7 million people incarcerated daily or on community supervision, people labeled violent offenders accounted for the majority of the state prison population (55 percent), and large shares of jail, probation, and parole populations (Table 1).
