As I pointed out in recent Congressional testimony, poor education leads to poor job prospects, poor families, and back to poor education – if not with a detour through incarceration, which makes it even harder to break the cycle. Unfortunately, no one in a position of power is likely to heed such arguments.
正如笔者在近期的国会证词中指出的一样，教育程度低导致工作前景差，家庭收入低，反过来又导致教育程度低——如果再加上犯罪入狱的话，要打破这种循环就更难了。但不幸地是，没有一个当权者会留意这样的争论。
