  So when someone is arrested, that makes them more likely to do crime in the future, so they should be preemptively jailed even if they didn't do a crime this time?

    > that makes them more likely to do crime in the future Yes. One's past behavior is a strong predictor of future behavior. > so they should be preemptively jailed even if they didn't do a crime this time? No, it means that each successive conviction should result in a longer prison sentence.

        The results are debated, as there are many factors at work. Nobody thought or suggested it would end crime - just reduce it.
