“Tough on crime” doesn’t work. Never has. But until people are reasonably safe from attack or theft they’re not going to support criminal justice reform, and I guess tbh I’m not sure we should. What are evidence-driven ways SF can lower crime while fighting overincarceration?

There’s a state-wide mandate for release on most cases right now. There’s a lot of inaccurate info and fearmongering out there trying to drive us back to conservative, “tough on crime” practices that don’t work. The truth is crime is down. And our jail count is down.

That's great. But I'm still seeing daily assaults in the TL, unless I'm missing something. A. What are you doing to make assaults, robberies, and theft less common? B. Don't we need to lower these further to get broad support for the kinds of reforms we both want to see?

The manner of release and what's available to these people will make all of the difference. Do they have a home to go to? Do they have any resources at all? I don't really fault people for stealing in a scenario where they literally cannot work.
