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.

"We must act with urgency to ensure that detention is used only when the risk of great bodily harm to another person outweighs the community public health consequences. Public health and public safety depend on it."

SF DISTRICT ATTORNEY @SFDAOfficeCheck out this new report from@SFDAOffice on our use of data to drive decision making around rapid decarceration. With COVID cases spiking, this is a critical resource to help other jurisdictions save lives inside jails and in the broader community. https://sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/justice-driven-data/an-epidemic-inside-a-pandemic/ … pic.twitter.com/v7yed0fn073 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Here's the problem - outside of prison time, the consequences aren't deterring crime. We can't accept the constant public looting of pharmacies or car burglaries as normal - there has to be a deterrence. Right now there clearly isn't, and it's unfair to those who are burglurized.

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).

3/x You're right about incarceration being prohibitively expensive and overused as a solution. But we live by a social contract to respect property and treat neighbors with consideration. There are rules and there has to be consequences enough to deter breaking them.

The problem is while that would normally be a calculation that might be valid for actual crime like thefts like these, in this moment placing people in congregate settings like our overcrowded mass incarceration system is an existential systematic risk.https://judiciary.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2893 …
