Both have their limitations, given the tremendous variation in penal severity across states and over time (see Chiricos and Delone, 1992).…”

“…Moreover, scholars have argued that the control efforts of the criminal justice system are augmented by the social control of marginal populations through the welfare system (e.g. Beckett and Western, 2001;Garland, 1985;Inverarity and Grattet, 1989). In essence, understanding the dynamics of punishment likely requires a consideration of the partisan emphasis on law and order as well as the role of economic threat, racial threat, and alternative systemic control mechanisms.…”

“…8 In addition, because it is well known that prisons tend to operate near or above capacity (Harrison and Beck, 2003, Table 8), we take into account the "back door" of the imprisonment system by including in our models the percentage of prisoners released (cf.

The now well‐documented explosion in prison populations over the last 30 years has spurred significant attention in the literature. Early research focused primarily on economic explanations. More recently it has focused on political explanations of prison growth. Here we extend research on political explanations of imprisonment by drawing on the literature on state politics and public policy. We argue that the effect of partisan politics on punishment is conditional on how much electoral competition legislators face. We test this hypothesis using annual state level data on imprisonment from 1978 to 1996. Our findings show that the effect of Republican state legislative strength on prison admissions depends on time and the level of competition in state legislative elections. We argue that these findings suggest the need for a more nuanced understanding of the link between partisan U.S. politics and imprisonment.

“…However, at the time he stated that there was movement away from "exclusionary" controls such as prison to more inclusive types of control such as welfare. Both of these arguments, while presenting different pictures of ideological and policy shifts suggest that there is a zero sum relationship between social control institutions [5].…”

Research on the relationship between threatening populations and conditions, and mechanisms of social control has increased steadily since the publication of Blalock's, Theory of Minority Group Relations, in 1967. Blalock's theory of social threat and social control asserts that unique types of threat elicit distinct forms of social control. Social threat theorists typically present two types of social control: coercive controls and placative controls. Coercive controls include incarceration, arrest, and other types of formal state surveillance. Placative controls include programs and/or institutions, like welfare and mental health services, which protect or aid people in some way. Much of social threat research examines how certain populations or social conditions affect measures of social control. However, recently researchers have begun to examine the extent to which forms of social control are related to one another. This is typically referred to as the "trade off" hypothesis, which asserts that there is an inverse relationship between forms of social control. To test this hypothesis, the researcher will perform a meta-analysis of studies that explore the relationship between two macro forms of social control: welfare (placative), and incarceration and arrest (coercive).
