Disappointed that @hknightsf chose not to include facts disproving her desired narrative about our work. So much misleading info in this piece it’s impossible to respond in 280 characters.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/heatherknight/article/Is-public-safety-a-priority-for-DA-Chesa-Boudin-15654795.php …

It offers an alternative to punitive punishment for crimes by seeking to address harm done via direct engagment with the parties harmed. Some toss out the idea as impractical, although arguments have been made that if implemented properly it would taxpayers save money.

I think the conceptual shift that scares some people is it complicates the government's idea of criminality, which is supposedly objective, but is in reality deeply racist, by embracing the idea that harm is complex and reparations is by necessity not a fixed proposition.

Let's get straight about something. It is not actually Boudin's job to prevent crime. It's his job to prosecute them once they occur. If you want crime prevention, then go to your policy makers. Being tough on crime does not stop repeat violent offenders.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-prisons-make-us-safer/ …

I do want to understand the proposal and I haven’t yet which is why I am asking follow-up questions. On the crime stopping issue: I see the same drug dealers on my street day-in and day-out. By not prosecuting, repeat crime balloons and is not counted in official stats.

The strong message being sent to repeat criminals is there will be no punishment or repercussions for continuing criminal behavior. Unless I am missing something critical in this “restorative justice” mantra.
