Given the number of criminals I see on the streets, I certainly wouldn't call the US's current situation "mass incarceration". I would say the US has a shockingly massive crime problem.

It's not okay to not cite something, if it's relevant, regardless of where it's published. But people who feel strongly about open access are free to publish there themselves. Most academics don't care that much, because
