Most crimes never lead to arrests. But a lot of those criminals might eventually be arrested for other things. And somehow we end up with a remarkably huge number of people incarcerated, comparatively.
maybe US has a combination that together isn't true of other countries:
1. social dysfunction which leads to crime &
2. strong, relatively reliable state capacity (ex. police are able to intervene and not be scared or bought off by gangs) &
3. state generally relies on responding to crime or particular situations rather than attempts to preemptively restrain entire population as in totalitarianism
