We have data on the incarceration rates of Americans as a whole, versus other countries.

I think the current activist climate is in response to the fact that the status quo is built on the premise that all that befalls the troubled populations in the US is always because they deserve it, and they brought it upon themselves. And therefore, all the prevailing cultural/ policing/ political/ fiscal positions that have been in response to these conditions are reasonable.

That doesn't seem reasonable to me.
