Suppose that the U.S. Congress passed a new law that punished shoplifting with a mandatory eighty-five year prison term. What would be the impact of the new law on shoplifting nationwide?

Why or why not?Note: You are being required to write an essay between 1,000-1,500 words in length, not including your abstract, cover page and reference page.
