I seem to remember an article decades ago, which cited research which showed
that there were minor occasional criminals, one time criminals, and
supercriminals who worked at with the diligence of a CEO.
I don't remember the numbers, but it seems like 85% of the serious crime
was done by 15% or less of the criminals. The habitual offender laws
like Michigan's "three strikes" statute are aimed at getting these guys
off the street, but we keep reading about ongoing criminal behavior of guys with
20 page criminal records.

I read the papers around here about the daily/weekly shootings, and a
lot of the perps and vics have multiple prior arrests, many related to
guns and robberies and shootings, yet they are still walking the streets
and carrying and using (illegal) weapons after multiple catch and
release on low/no bonds, mostly because there isn't enough prison space
and the #blm folks get all upset when one of them is put away (as
opposed to "put down" unless it is white on black -- black on black
barely gets a notice). Mostly dope/gang related, somebody dissed
somebody else...
