I agree that the economy is a meaningful factor. We also have a heroin problem. However, there is a criminal element of society that has always been there -just like you said- and always will be. These criminals know what they can get away with and commit petty crime after petty crime. Now it's truly without consequence. I agree that prison may not be the answer and we need serious criminal justice reform but I promise you that setting them loose over and over and over again with no consequence whatsoever to steal and destroy property and victimize society will end badly. I think the "catch & release" element of SB91 breeds recidivism.
