Wrong metric. It's not jail population you should be reducing (easy to game especially as a DA). You should reduce crime committed and motives to commit crime. With the ever looming recession, your crazy policies are going to get people killed.

Reducing carceral rates does not reduce it absolutely. If anything in the classes of crime where prosecution is non existent it will definitely get worse.

There's no evidence for your statement about punitive measures. If anything California's prop 47 is directly the cause of increased property crime.

I'm just stating that reducing consequences directly leads to increase in those crimes. Petty theft should be criminal in my view. Not a felony but it should have consequences

Misdemeanors are not prosecuted because they're clubbed in with smaller crimes. Petty theft is much worse than jaywalking! This practically makes it non consequential Death penalty imo is more lenient than a life sentence. I'm not pro death penalty.

Where’d you get your criminology degree Jon? Your analysis is impassioned, yay!, but not evidence-based.
