Crime is increasing in California.....it just might have a little, bitty, tiny thing to do with California deciding to let criminals out of prison.........the left/democrats never learn....
Crime Increasing in California After 'Prison Reform'
Proposition 47 was passed by California voters in 2014. The measure redefined some felony crimes, i.e., those deemed to be not serious or violent, as misdemeanors. Most thefts of property valued at less than $950 were thus downgraded, as was the possession for personal use of cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.
Last November saw the passage of California’s Proposition 57, which authorized the early release of felons whose crimes are deemed nonviolent.
This may sound reasonable until one examines the list of crimes so regarded, which includes assault with a deadly weapon, battery with serious injury, solicitation to commit murder, rape of an unconscious person, and burglary of a home.
