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.

Then what’s to stop repeat offenders? Crime(violent and theft) is skyrocketing in SF because of this policy. It’s insane, and it needs to go, and so does

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/ …

Your statement “If you want crime prevention, then go to your policy makers.” Is a massive pass the buck cop out. Please explain in more detail. Concrete proposals only, please.

Sure, Providing low income housing and transitional housing for homeless San Franciscans would without question reduce crime. That fact and is well documented by HUD

That is a straw man argument. It is well documented that most of San Francisco's homeless population were one time residents of San Francisco

That is not well documented at all. Many cities have emptied their shelters, mental hospitals and have bought 1 way tickets for their homeless populations - who choose to come to SF due to friendly policy. Show me the breakdown of where the homeless in SF originate from.

Paul @netfire4Replying to @DontSJW @DeanPreston and 3 othersTake it up with wikipedia, As of 2015, approximately 71% of the city's homeless had housing in the city before becoming homeless, while the remaining 29% came from outside of San Francisco. This figure is up from 61% in 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_San_Francisco_Bay_Area#:~:text=As%20of%202019%2C%20the%20city,from%20outside%20of%20San%20Francisco ….2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
I wouldn't look to Wikipedia without fact checking, but that article is correct. The rate of San Francisco residents who later became homeless over the last 10 years has fluctuated from 61-78% over the last 9 years according to the city's own point in time counts.
