San Francisco Will Pay Criminals Not to Shoot People

The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) from the American Public Health Association (APHA) publications

Results. The program was associated with reductions in firearm violence (annually, 55% fewer deaths and hospital visits, 43% fewer crimes) but also unexpected increases in nonfirearm violence (annually, 16% more deaths and hospital visits, 3% more crimes). These associations were unlikely to be attributable to chance for all outcomes except nonfirearm homicides and assaults in crime data.

Conclusions. The Operation Peacemaker Fellowship may have been effective in reducing firearm violence in Richmond but may have increased nonfirearm violence.
 
From your link: The program was inspired by one run in neighboring Richmond, California, in 2016 that studies have said reduced gun crime by up to 70 percent, officials told the local station.

Interesting claim.
What a sad commentary on human nature.

Exactly.
 
I miss the days when people just said "don't break the law" and when someone did they got punished. End of story.


And holy shit, they earn an extra 200 dollars for showing up to parole meetings? You're supposed to show up as part of you're parole.

California is a fucking nut house.

Interesting, sounds like a mixed bag. I suppose it depends on if the reduced gun violence was more than the increase in other types of violence and by how much.

Also unprovable. Most criminals from Richmond do their crimes elsewhere.
