I looked it up though and it's a legit study. Very surprising. Glad to see that you're some one who can acknowledge the negative effects of 3-strikes. As to Sheriff Joe, the Goldwater Institute compares Maricopa county to other nearby counties the failings seems specific to his jurisdiction. That's certainly the charge of the Goldwater Institute.

I think what 3 Strikes does now is maybe (kind of like "more likely") make second strikers think twice before that third strike takes place which would reduce that number, I have no idea by how much but it has to. I'll acknowledge though, since it's what I believe, that a percentage of the criminal population will commit more crimes regardless of 3 Strikes and many will be very violent. I also know that 3 Strikes is keeping the community safer, the reduced crime rates over the past 15 years can't be argued and neither can the fact most people get away with numerous crimes before finally getting caught and at some point that cycle is stopped thanks to tougher sentencing.
