Persons refers to a group of individuals, considered separately, e.g.: There are three persons who are suspects in that crime.
People refers to a group as an entity, or to individuals in the abstract, e.g.: People respond to kindness better that to anger or The people of New Jersey voted for a new governor. 'People' can generally be used in either case, but 'persons' is never used to refer to collective of abstract entities.
Here is what the Oxford American Dictionary says about it:
The words people and persons can both be used as the plural of person, but they are not used in exactly the same way. People is by far the more common of the two words and is used in most ordinary contexts: : a group of people ;: there were only about ten people ;: several thousand people have been rehoused.
Persons, on the other hand, tends now to be restricted to official or formal contexts, as in : this vehicle is authorized to carry twenty persons ;: no persons admitted without a pass. In some contexts, persons, by pointing to the individual, may sound less friendly than people:: the number should not be disclosed to any unauthorized persons.
