Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wolfgang's study primarily highlighted the concept of the "chronic offender," suggesting that a small number of individuals are responsible for a large proportion of crimes. This finding supports selective or focused incapacitation strategies rather than collective incapacitation, which would target this specific group of high-rate offenders rather than the general population.
