As Chesa explains mass incarceration poses a existential epidemiological risk in this pandemic. If Chesa had not complied with medical guidance and released more prisoners the pandemic would have been much worse in sf.https://www.sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/justice-driven-data/an-epidemic-inside-a-pandemic/ …

Yeah what is crime is mostly about the social changes the richest want. Our excessive and increasing police state not any change in constituent behavior is responsible for the change in petty crime rates, violent crime is down and our society is safer.https://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1403078375330177028?s=19 …

Susie NeilsonVerified account @susieneilsonReplying to @susieneilson @socallegaleagl1 @meganrcassidyThe broader point is D.A. policies don't appear to have the same effect on crime rates as bigger events like the pandemic and recession. See our chart on San Francisco vs. Sacramento - in Sac, with a more traditional D.A., assaults increased and murder rates increased more pic.twitter.com/U1yAj1Wbsg2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Certainly this single anomalous year isn't wholly indicative of normal experience, which is another reason I oppose the recall. But :"the introduction of MML in a state was associated with a reduction in the overall incidence of a “Part 1 offenses”." https://reason.org/wp-content/uploads/does-legalizing-marijuana-reduce-crime.pdf …
