Figures on the British survey state that there are 87,561 thousand people in Britain and Wales prisons today (Ministry Of Justice, 2010). This massive population in prisons has been rising sharply since 1993 and increased from 42,000 to today's unprecedented levels (Cavadino and Dignan , 2007 ).The prison population rate places England and Wales one of the highest in Western Europe with 153 people per 100,000 (Ministry Of Justice, 2010). This Essay is going to discuss and evaluate the claim that the prison system is ‘in crisis’. In order to do this, the essay will first look at the reasons for the huge rising prison population – financial, prudential and moral. Secondly overcrowded prisons have an impact on rehabilitation programmes which potentially could be a reason for the high rate of reoffending in the UK.

At this time people wanted to spend their money instead of save it for hard times. Society’s hourly pay rate nearly double and tripled during this era. War factories transitioned from making war materials to making civilian supplies, which lead to the boost in our economy at the time. Today, effects of the Baby Boom have many factors that come into play that affect our economy. According to National Academy of Social Insurance “social security faces a financial challenge from the impending retirement of the largest generation in American history, the 76 million persons born in the “baby boom” years, from 1946 through 1964.
This demographic will continually increase due to baby boomers entering their retirement years as well as the number of elderly living past the age of 85. Likewise, the Hispanic elderly population will increase by 12.8 million and is expected to be one of the largest minority groups living older in age (Woodside & McCalm, 2011). This population surge will cause issues for governments and agencies at all levels with implications in policy making, planning and many other areas. This means increased education levels and more elderly citizens who are minorities. On the same token, the income for elderly
Part of the urban population growth was fueled by an unprecedented mass immigration to the United States that continued unabated into the first two decades of the twentieth century. The promise that America held for these new immigrants contrasted sharply with the rise of legalized segregation of African-Americans in the South after Reconstruction. Meanwhile, ongoing industrialization and urbanization left their mark on how people spent their daily lives and used their leisure time. The rapid growth of urban areas is the result of two factors: natural increase in population (excess of births over deaths), and migration to urban areas. Natural population growth has been covered in other units, and consequently, here we will concentrate on migration.
In order for corporations to make money, they produced things related to the rising popular culture. [3] The rise of this new culture was due to an increase of cities, rise of a consumer society, and the change in morals and behavior. [4] During the twenties, more than half of the population lived in cities. New social classifications were created: laborers and managers, blue collar and white. [5] There was also a rise of leisure time, emergence of an urban middle class, technological advances, and an increase of wages.
(Champagne & Harpham, 21) Texas seems to be urbanizing more and more. This shift brings about economic growth and diversification which means new roads will have to be built, more construction, and expanded water and sewer systems (window.tx.state.us, Susan Combs, Texas in Focus: A Statewide View of Opportunities) thus creating many more jobs as well. A state that was once majority Anglo’s has become a state of all races, which has also driven the growth in population. Texas is now a state where different ethnicities have a larger number that the Anglo’s. People are coming from all over to work in the oil field particularly.
In recent years, Australia’s population has increased significantly due to immigration. The growth rate of its population was 2.1% in 2010, which is higher than that of in China, US and Canada. It is predicted to reach 36 million in 2050. However, both positive and negative impacts come into being because of ‘Big Australia’. It impacts on environmental, social and economical issues in Australia.
