What is Deterrent Effects of Prison Sentences about?
The study investigates the deterrent effects of prison sentences using the Collective Clemency Bill passed in Italy in 2006 as a natural experiment. It finds that a reduction in time served in prison significantly decreases the likelihood of recidivism, with a 1-month reduction leading to a 0.16 percentage point decrease in reoffending rates. The results suggest that expected sentences can effectively deter criminal behavior, indicating that policy changes in sentencing can influence crime rates.
