Pou konprann poukisa mond lan kontanporen se tout doulè nesesè, sonje ke moun yo anmezi nan prèv ki baze sou pou pran desizyon. Syantis nan Etazini yo te anpil etidye efè yo nan fraz kriminèl, pa egzanp, men pa gen okenn tribinal nan peyi Etazini janm sèvi ak prèv ki baze sou santans (rechèch syantifik) lè santans yon akize kondane. Youn nan rezilta yo terib nan pa aplike prèv ki baze sou santans se ke fraz yo nou bay defandan fòtman kontribye nan residivis-defandan yo anjeneral fè plis krim.

To understand why the contemporary world is full of unnecessary pain, remember that humans are incapable of evidence-based decision-making. Scientists in the United States have extensively studied the effects of criminal sentences, for example, but no court in the United States ever uses evidence-based sentencing (scientific research) when sentencing a convicted defendant. One of the horrifying results of not applying evidence-based sentencing is that the sentences we give to defendants strongly contribute to recidivism—the defendants usually commit more crimes.
