One of the earliest points in this article is that this tsunami of petty crime may be caused by the economy and the opiate addiction problems.  The police and the victims are blaming the lack of incarceration.  So, the numbers we want to track, if SB 54, passes are: 1) what are recidivism rates (repeat offenders) now regarding this problem - there are probably still some criminals prosecuted before SB 91 passed in jail; 2) how many incarcerated people become repeat offenders after SB 54 passes; 3) how do the numbers compare to the existing trends pre- and post-SB 54 passage.  We haven't had the new statutes (SB 91) in place long enough to do the trend comparisons for it or for SB 54.  My real question is, since it's become more personal crimes, is the outcry pointing the finger at the most convenient cause (SB 91), or is government protecting its own by not redirecting the argument to the economy and government's never-ending appetite for more money.
