We estimate the "incapacitation effect" on crime using variation in Italian prison population driven by eight … simultaneity of crime and prisoners as in Levitt (1996) and, in addition, use the national character of the pardons to separately … identify incapacitation from changes in deterrence. The elasticity of total crime with respect to incapacitation is between -20 …

We estimate the incapacitation effect on crime using variation in Italian prison population driven by eight collective … entire prison population - and happen nationwide. Exploiting this quasi-natural experiment we break the simultaneity of crime … incapacitation from changes in deterrence. The elasticity of total crime with respect to incapacitation is between -20 and -35 …

Incarceration of criminals reduces crime through two main channels, deterrence and incapac- itation. Because of a … simultaneity between crime and incarceration–arrested criminals increase the prison population–it is difficult to measure these … effects. This paper estimates the incapaci- tation effect on crime using a unique quasi-natural experiment, namely the …
