Gee freeheels, if you look at the chart in the story you could see that murder actually decreased after SB 91 was passed. Rape was higher per capita in 2013 than today, although the actual number is higher it isn't much different than in 2013.

SB 91 isn't responsible for increases in crime and for the two authors to suggest otherwise is pure guesswork. Alaska does have a problem with certain crimes but locking up more of our citizens is not necessary the answer.
