Today, we launched two new dashboards that allow the public to track detailed criminal justice data including arrest rates, prosecution rates & crime trends. We remain committed to transparency & data-driven policies.https://sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/da-stat/

Why are these numbers presented in a raw number and not on a per capita basis? Given that the number of people in SF every day has plummeted during WFH and the pandemic this feels like number shaping.

What is your theory here? Do you suppose that pre pandemic there was a significant fraction of commuting office workers that were out there doing crimes on their lunch breaks? Now with fewer commuters, and the same number of crimes, we presume the local crime rate has spiked?

Obviously, it would be silly to think that office workers were doing the crime, but it would be factual to say there are fewer people in the city to be victims of crimes.

Ok, well if you're saying that it's basically the same set of people doing the same number of crimes, but with fewer potential victims around thus making it more likely that one might be a victim, that's quite different from alleging that there's suddenly a spike in crime.

I mean, if we're talking about effects from a supposedly lenient criminal justice system, we might look for an actual increase in criminal activity (more people being criminals and doing crimes). If there's the same number of criminals and crimes, what are you trying to prove?
