QUESTION




If offenders fail to rehabilitate and continue to commit crime, then social control will never
be achieved.
Repeat offending and lack of rehabilitation due to lack of resources is one of the
reasons that the prison population has drastically increased over the last 20 years.




Statistics on prison population increasing over the past few decades:
> According to the Prison Reform Trust the prison population in England and Wales has
nearly doubled, with an extra 41,000 people behind bars.
> At the end of November 2022, 82,900 people were in custody in England and Wales.
