Healthcare professionals demanded we drastically reduce the jail population, so we listened. On Jan 21, the SF jail population was 1,238. On March 4, when the emergency was declared, it was 1,097. Yesterday, it was 766. Meanwhile, crime rates continue to decrease in SF.

Also tbc I didn’t say “without a victim id’d.” I said the victim isn’t present for the crime. eg, most larceny/burglary has a victim, but if the victim is present, the top (reported) charge is usually robbery. 1.5-2M arrests per year (out of 12M) fit that definition.

But also total arrests with any identifiable victim is no more than 3-4million, again out of an annual 12million arrests. Most are victimless misdemeanors (disorderly conduct, vandalism, drugs, loitering, DUI, etc)

SF has been aggressively releasing and deferring people out of the court system for years and our property crime rate climbed to be the highest in the nation. Seems like that’s at odds with your stance. Your thoughts?
