02

Analyze the second claim

Examine the text for evidence, explanation, or example to support the claim that the criticism of statistical dangerousness is related to the nature of predictive errors. If it is found, this claim is not the correct answer. If it cannot be found, this claim could be the correct answer.
03

Analyze the third claim

Examine the text for evidence, explanation, or example to support the claim that under selective incapacitation, first-time offenders would get short terms of incarceration. If it is found, this claim is not the correct answer. If it cannot be found, this claim could be the correct answer.
