The group of people who have long arrest records.
So when someone is arrested, that makes them more likely to do crime in the future, so they should be preemptively jailed even if they didn't do a crime this time?
> that makes them more likely to do crime in the future
Yes. One's past behavior is a strong predictor of future behavior.
> so they should be preemptively jailed even if they didn't do a crime this time?
No, it means that each successive conviction should result in a longer prison sentence.
Criminals? I'm not sure what you're looking for.
"Criminals do the most crime" is a tautology
