Crime data for 2020 is complicated but @chesaboudin's failure shows best in burglary stats. You would expect burglaries to go down when people shelter at home, and that's indeed the case in places like Oakland (-43%) or San Jose (-3%). In SF, they've increased by 49%.

I specifically called out burglaries as (1) other crime categories increase/decrease in SF are more or less on par with other major cities and (2) burglars are routinely released by the DA’s office in SF now (murderers, we have to give it to him, not so much).

The release of criminals is at the core of this. The fact that other cities have similar increases in burglaries does not necessarily excuse
@chesaboudin. It just means they are as ineffective as he is. (And I mean mean no offense at all, Szymon.)
