My personal sympathies lie with ending the WoD and lowering the incarceration rate. However, I think a nearly fivefold increase in the rate of incarceration probably has something to do with declining crime as well.
Does anyone have any solid evidence that the jump in incarceration was not the driver of the decline in crime?
Maybe the Levitt paper addresses this. I'll check it out.
