Just spoke briefly with a cop from @SFPDNorthern.
Incredibly thoughtful man.
He said some burglars have been caught 8+ times yet are back on the street. Said, "what are we waiting for? Somebody to get hurt?"
Neighbors - get video cameras. PD needs footage to solve crime.
Addressing this point here, your comment here is that the consequences aren't deterring crime. Just a question, despite being pervasive, prohibitively expensive, and epedimiologically risky, has Incarceration anywhere effectively deterred crime(especially drug use?)?

1/x What I mean here is that every day there's another of the same repetitive story. To name a few: - Dealer arrested 4th time on same block with money, drugs, and weapons. - Dealer ignores stay away order. - Man arrested for the 15th time in 18 months for motor vehicle theft.

2/x Real criminals (not drug users) become more bold when they know for a fact that they face no consequences (Clearly demonstrated in the latter headline - I'm sorry 15 stolen vehicles in 18 months, we can't trust you to participate in our society and respect your neighbors).
