No, all of those things are true, they just don't have overwhelmingly large effect sizes. They are, undoubtedly, still driving up the incarceration rate.

Right, I misspoke. They drive up the incarceration rate, but only negligibly. They do not explain the spike in prison populations.

Negligibly? Or is it just not the primary factor?
