Only if you take the suggestion to be that releasing ppl is causing the drop. But I don’t—I read it as rebutting the claim that releasing inmates right now would increase crime. That crime continues to drop is solid (though not conclusive) evidence for that rebuttal.

The overwhelming majority of arrests involve crimes with no identifiable “sheep” or with physically absent “sheep” (car break ins, etc)

Fed”? It’s my job... and it’s not a secret. Go sit in an arraignment part for 20 minutes.

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)

Minor quibble, I wouldn't call DUI victimless. Everyone they endanger with DUI is a victim.

That’s an absurd definition of victim.

Replying to @borrfdad @cathsaigh and
I think you're looking for dysfunctional. That is a dysfunctional definition of victim, but it does match our societies.

It doesn't match the legal or commonly used definition of "victim." Random pedestrians don't get restitution from a DUI conviction. I think absurd works just fine.
