A new edition of the World Prison Population List is now available.  Produced by Roy Walmsley of King's College London International Centre for Prison Studies, the list makes a best attempt to draw together statistics from countries around the world.  It complements the Centre's World Prison Brief, a database of information about prison systems throughout the world that is updated monthly.

Separately, the National Council on Crime and Delinquency has just posted Attitudes of US Voters Toward Youth Crime and the Justice System, which finds a reversal of public support for adult penalties for youth.
